This is my first time at a Stud8 table. I have read Stud8 for Advanced Players so I hope Im not as bad as other complete noobs, but I am still very very bad.

Table was playing very loose as you would expect.

7 Card Stud High-Low ($0.04/$0.08), Ante $0.01, Bring-In $0.02 (converter)

3rd Street - (2.00 SB)

Seat 1: xx xx 3:diamond:___calls
Seat 2: xx xx 2:heart:___brings-in
Seat 3: xx xx 2:spade:___folds
Seat 4: xx xx Q:club:___folds
Seat 5: xx xx 8:heart:___calls
Hero: A:heart: 5:club: 6:heart:___calls
Seat 7: xx xx T:spade:___folds
Seat 8: xx xx J:club:___calls

Standard?

4th Street - (4.50 SB)

Seat 1: xx xx 3:diamond: A:diamond:___bets
Seat 2: xx xx 2:heart: 3:spade:___calls
Seat 5: xx xx 8:heart: T:club:___folds

Good value raise trying to trap what I think is Seat 2s worse low or just dumb?

River - (12.75 BB)

Seat 1: xx xx 3:diamond: A:diamond: 5:heart: A:club: xx___bets
Seat 2: xx xx 2:heart: 3:spade: 8:diamond: T:diamond: xx___calls

Should I value raise this too?

Total pot: (15.75 BB)

raise on 3, with an 8 limping you want to charge the rest of the field, you have a strong starting hand here

i raise on 4, if seat 1 had a really strong hand on third he would have raised it, so he might just be representing an ace here...the only way you could be in bad shape is to be against a better low draw with diamonds

5 is an easy bet, 6 is an easy raise

i like the flat-call on 7, there's a chance you could be beaten by a better low in seat 1, and you don't have a high hand to work with

3rd is a raise.

4th i don't mind either a raise or a call.

i raise 5th, 6th, and 7th. the only thing that beats you for a low on 7th is 24 down, and that doesn't seem likely as played.

You should have bet/raised on every street. You played this way too passively.

Bet raise every street.

I thought the hand was played relatively well, however I would raise 7th street. Seat 1 is clearly playing his Aces, and there are only two hands that beat your low, which are 6,4,3,2,A and 5,4,3,2,A.

With three of the Aces out, the fact that you are holding a 2, 3, a 5, and a pair of 6's it is highly unlikely that either has the wheel or the best 6 to take down your low.

On 3rd and 4th I would say that both raising and calling are fine. Probably a raise is marginally better on third - fourth probably as well, if only because at this level the players are likely to be clueless and playing garbage hands. Against decent players, I think I would prefer a call.

7th is a raise - your low is almost certainly good, as other posters have mentioned.

i agree with everyone raise all u can....
