A semi-interesting hand

[Hamlet]

On 3rd, it's $2 to call in an $18 pot. I have a buried pair that will win a big pot if I hit trips. If I spike two pair I'm in a decent position.

4th may be viable time to fold. It didn't occur to me though, since I am so rarely in a situation where I am so certain to be beat with so little action. Usually, by the time I know I'm beat with Jacks, I've raised and been re-raised. If the pot is head's up, I'm pot commited (assuming reasonable boards). If the pot is multi-way, I'm pot committed [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Some of this is my holdem experience tainting my thought proccess. If I'm beat with Jacks in holdem, it is almost always a fold after the flop. I forget that its hard to be that far behind in stud.

Why not fold on 3rd, if you’re so sure he has a higher pair?
