Default What I hate the most - 2pr on 4th

7 Card Stud High ($20/$40), Ante $2, Bring-In $5 (hand converter)

3rd Street - (0.80 SB)

Seat 1: xx xx 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]___brings-in___calls
Seat 2: xx xx 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]___folds
Seat 3: xx xx K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]___calls___calls
Seat 4: xx xx 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]___folds
Hero: 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]___completes
Seat 6: xx xx 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]___folds
Seat 7: xx xx 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]___folds
Seat 8: xx xx K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]___calls

4th Street - (4.80 SB)

Seat 1: xx xx 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]___double bets
Seat 3: xx xx K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]___checks___calls
Hero: 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]___checks___[?????]
Seat 8: xx xx K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]___checks


Now I admit, this is usually an easy fold, except in this case:
1) Seat 1 was very LAG - specifically, he bet every paired door card regardless. I saw him bluff with low paired door cards at least 4 times in this one session.
2) As for Seat 3, he didn't raise on 3rd, and 1 King was already dead, and he didn't raise Seat 1 on 4th.

So this was a tough one for me....

How was seat 3's play overall? His calling the paired 3's is rather scary, no? What about the K that called behind you?

The problem here is that you have to stretch to put them each on a hand you can beat here. I would make a ridiculously huge laydown and move on to the next hand.

Because the pot is small and you’re either a little ahead or way behind.

Seat 3 overall was very LAG. Consequently, he could have almost anything, which means I could easily have him beat. The K that is behind didn't have Ks, I was very confident of that, because he didn't raise 3rd (I know the player well enough to be sure).

What about guts?

Heh - so by that logic I fold every under pair, even Ks, when a higher door card raises. I just don't play cards that way. Call me a fish.

And the pot is not small at all. There's almost 5.5 BBs in there.

The pot is small relative to your effective odds given you have to call a double bet for 4 more potential rounds.

If the king has a pair you're way behind.

If the 3's are trips you're way behind.

If neither have the aforementioned hands, you're a little ahead of the kings, But will never know where you stand in this hand.
