My first time back to Stud 8 in a long time, so I might start posting some mundane hands to see if my foundations are shaky or not.

Main question is the call on 3rd, is it a good one considering the multiple other lows in the pot? Seat 4 is aggrodonk.

I think you have to call a small bet there with a 3 flush and a three low, to a 7-5. I think if the 2 3 was that strong he would raise, so for one bet, take a card. I think there were two bets per player on third? Can't really give up on 4th too easy after that.

I completely disagree, this is a standard fold. A 3-flush on 4th street means nothing, especially when 2 of the other hearts are dead. He'd have to catch twice in three cards, and the odds of that aren't being offered by the pot.

The same philosophy goes to his low draw. 3 to the low after 4th gives you nothing in a multi-way pot...and we've got a 2-3 and 6-7 showing, both of which probably have better hands than hero does right now. Get out cheap while you can.

Easy fold on 3rd

whut? you mean 4th?

I can't speak for the original poster, but I think he meant 3rd. This hand is pretty marginal in this situation. What are you really hoping to hit? Remember you want to scoop not play for half.


IMO it's a marginal hand on 3rd and completely unplayable after that K hits you.

Exactly what I meant, thats why I said 3rd. You are drawing to a 7 low? What is your plan for the hand........3 on 4th 4 on 5th 5 on 6th......you have to hit 3 perfect cards in 4 streets of betting. What is the plan if someone bets into you on 4th if you hit one of those cards? Or what if it gets reraised and you have to call 2 bets cold with players behind you to act? You are playing a bad low with no high possibilities right now. Stud 8 is a split pot game but you are always playing for the Scoop! If you dont have a good chance at the scoop you should seriously consider folding.
