general strat question.What do you do if you have made an 8-7 low on 5th street and you are facing someone with a better low draw and another high hand? what about if you're facing a better low draw and TWO other high hands?Do you raise to try to push out the better low draw? or do you check/call to try to get the better low draw to chase and hopefully miss?If you have an 8-7 low on 5th street, do you suck too much to be playing stud 8/b?edit: and you have no scoop possibility.
that one. :)an 87 low will come around a lot, but MOST of the time if there are multiple other lows in the pot, it should be because you caught the 8 on 4th or 5th. a good rule of thumb is to stick to 3 to a 7 if there are other lows behind you on 3rd.

Another strat question.You have 3-4 down and 6-7 up on 4th street. Its been bet and then raised to you.What do you do if your 5's are completely live? What if one of them are burned?Two?3?4?
depends on what i'm probably up against, but that's a goddamn monster if all your fives are live unless someone appears to be drawing to a better-than-67 low.one five dead, i prob still go nuts. two or three, i might slow down, depending. it's tough to say without knowing board textures of the villains in this pot.

A hand similar like this came up at the micro tables, but i didnt save the HH, so i dont have it down exactlyi forgot what i started off with, but for somehow i ended up with a 5-6-7-8 on 5th with some random high card. I think i was up against 3 other people, one going low, two going high. Only one of my 4s were burned, 9's were live, three 4's were live. I rammed and jammed this, being check/called by the others till the river. Do you agree with the way this was played?and another thing with regards to starting handsdo you play something like 2-5-7 because its drawing to a better than average low(7-high low)? or would you fold the 2-5-7 and play something like the 3-5-7 instead because it can make a 3-to-7 straight?

257 is almost always playable, 357 obv has more value though, due to straight possibilities. i generally play any 3-low-w/ace or 3-low-connector for a raise, and limp other 7low draws.not sure about the hand, from what i can tell i cap?
