Stud 8 hand

[Jesse Richman]

I think I like the way I played this hand, esp 5th and 6th streets. Agree? Disagree? Should I bet 6th?

You play good.

I'd be tempted to bet 6th, to allow you to possibly bet him off a pair (eg 4's) if you brick the river - but that's not too likely. Being 3/6, you'd probably get looked up anyway, so everything seems fine.

Good raise on 5th.
