Subject: stud8 hand advice - loose opponent (bahh)


Was I right to put in all the bets on 3rd here , and keep betting
out? I'd seen this guy chase with awful hands and suck out
in the past, so I was pretty confident I was ahead, until 6th.
Should I have bet on 6th anyway?

You played it fine. The checkraise on 7th would have been bad against a
better opponent, but is very good against this type of opponent.

Well played.

I disagree with the check-raise on 7th against ANY opponent. There's a
conflict here between the fundamental spirit of high-low poker (bet and
raise; no fear; variance is good) and the fundamental spirit of low-stakes
poker (play the odds; assume that any draw in the world can be out against
you; make 'em pay to draw but don't pay extra for the showdown). I'd
resolve that conflict in favor of the early aggression with your monster
starting hand, but with all the cards out I'd take the cheapest showdown
available.

Sixth street is a little unclear. I'd have bet it, and it turns out that
at that point the one pair still would have been high, but there's the
argument that sometimes it's best to play the appearance of the board. In
B/M play I might have tried to check-raise sixth against a typical opponent.
But against a loose shameless opponent, I still prefer the plain bet,
even in B/M.

The reason why is because this type of opponent (who I play often in HORSE
tournies, and occasionally lower limit Stud8 tournies), will bet out on
the river with a 76 or 86 low, and as little as one pair for high. I
think it is more likely that you have the scoop hand than he does, though
most of the pots will be chopped.

Really... I hate the bet on 6th myself, because any stud8 player with a
decent low hand or decent high hand with his good low draw will raise you
out of principle. Betting garners no information.

Personally, I like the way you played it until 7th, when I just check-call.  I
don't really think the quality of your opponent is very relevant on 7th.  What
hands does a good player check that a bad player will bet there?

As I said, naked 76 lows, naked 86 lows, and the same lows with one pair
(in addition to the same lows with two pair or trips or straights, and
concealed high hands. You are in good shape against all hands but the
concealed straights.

You do make the crying call if he three-bets you on the end, though, thinking he
could easily be doing that with a concealed high hand or a 65 low or something
without a high?

Right.  Maybe in the future I should read all the posts before I ask such

Does reraising your wheel draw here for an extra 30% of a bet, over an
all-in, make sense? Or are they so loose and unobservant that they
won't get the message?

Or, did they get your "I'm isolating" message as you intended?

are you assuming he paired the case Ace here and the all-in doesn't
have one? Or that he has a worse one-card draw than you because he's
loose?

Plus, one of your 3's is gone.

auto call? is loose player a LAG, that you have a 7% chance that he's
bluff reraising after he bet on 6th?
