Stud8 - Day 4, Hand 4

[Aaron W.]

I wanted to play this hand because there were only a couple low cards out. But I stuck to the plan and folded my crappy 8-low draw. It has some scooping potential, but I don't know how smart it is to draw to an inside straight card in stud when one was already dead. Am I playing this a little too tight?

I'd probably see 4th here. No one has any threatening low boards here and 865 at least has some better two-way potential than say 832 which I'd be more inclined to toss. I suppose one could make an argument for completing 3rd depending on the nature of your opponents.

If I am running good, I limp or raise. If I am running bad, I fold.
