Default Re: Stud 8: 3 low with 3 to straight or flush on 5th or a pair


>>These are no decision hands.Throw them away.

Okay. As I said, I do not want to paint the impression that these hands are played by me very often; rather under just rare circumstances. Perhaps a different example would be a big pair? Hellmuth mentions this in his book. Interestingly, on page 326, he states it is "OK to call two bets" with A45Q on fourth street. Call me too tight, but even with three wheel cards and the ace, I have a tough time calling two bets unless I'm at an incredibly loose table. On the same hand, he says to fold if you catch a 9, T, J or K; obviously not folding if you make open queens. With open queens if I felt I could vastly narrow the field or win the pot right there based on what the boards looked like (bricks for the lows, no aggression from an ace) I would bet.

Thanks for your thoughts; again I rarely play such hands, but under a very rare circumstance I'm trying to wonder if a situation can come up where you will see sixth.

Regards,
Paul
