Full Version: 7-stud, straight on 5th, never raised

7 Card Stud High ($2/$4), Ante $0.25, Bring-In $1 (hand converter)

Seat 3 seemed somewhat solid, but rarely raised big pairs on 3rd, so split jacks was a possibility here.
Seat 7 was a total donk.
Seats 2 and 8 were ok, but somewhat donkish.

I didn't think I would fold flush draws or two pair hands by raising, so I just went for overcalls on every street. I think this was ok, but I'm not sure. Anybody prefer raising someplace?

(Hardly any views, so I'll bump this once)

I'm raising 6th, by that point a lot of players are tied to the pot, and you can really tie them with a raise closing the action, if it gets three bet then start to throw up and call

Am I missing something here?

This looks like an easy raise on 6th, if not even on 5th.

None of the boards are scary in the least.
Any of the players need to basically use all 3 of
their hole cards to beat you. I would almost guarantee
you are ahead on 6th, and I would be pretty sure you're
still good by the river.

Ok - I like the idea of raising 6th. No guarantee that I'll get both overcalls again anyway if I call, and one or both of them might cold-call. Plus, it's not necessarily bad if I can fold out something like a crappy 2-pair. And if seat 2 is drawing at a flush, might as well charge him for it - he may even fold a flush draw if he thinks I just made a K-high flush.
