Stud8 - Day 2, Hand 9

[Aaron W.]

Hold'em has made me afraid of cold-calling. I don't know if it's so bad in stud since lots of hands tend to have similar strength after 3.

I've got a crappy low, but it has good prospects for high. There's only one dead heart, but that was the bring-in and he came in for a raise. I'm short a 6 for the gutshot part of the straight, and some of my pair cards are dead (which is good for low, bad for high). It's also probably going to be a 3-handed pot.

7 Card Stud High-Low ($0.25/$0.50), Ante $0.05 (converter)
