Stud8 - Day 2, 60 more hands - Hand 1

[Aaron W.]

Day 2 of being a Stud8 donk saw me scoop a couple pots and end up ahead. However, 12 of the 60 hands I played were marked as having some sort of question. I'll post a few every couple days as I spend time reviewing them.

Hand 1: I screwed this one up pretty badly. I think I should have check-folded on 4th. I have no idea what to think on 5th. Call down and hope the open aces didn't already have a pair, and didn't pair up?

Check/fold 4th

Player dependent on 5th but I have no problem folding there.

[Alchemist]

I sometimes might bet 4th if both my opponents bricked, but no way I'm betting into 4A. Assuming he plays sensible starting cards, he's now either got 4 to a low or a pair of Aces. I think it's a check-fold here as well.

You're now in a tricky spot on 5th street. He probably doesn't have Aces up but he's got a strong hand regardless. I might peel a card off since you're closing the action to try and fill up and dump it on 6th if I don't. On the whole I think a fold is good on 5th though.

Yep.

On fifth, folding is good.
