 |

I've been playing quite a bit of h/l stud recently and was wondering about said topic. I couldn't find anything to that specific effect in either Sklansky or Brunsons' section on h/l in both Super Systems. So...
On 5th street you're heads up in a pot with a made low and a gutshot straight draw, and you're opponent has no low draw and is at best playing two pair, is it correct to jam the pot? I would think any made low with scoop potention is freerolling in that spot and should be jamming. Just wondering what others think. |

I agree, when you have a lock for half the pot you should be betting and raising as much as possible in almost all scenarios. Not only are you increasing your long-term profit by doing so, but you will probably get your opponent to fold some hands that would otherwise have taken half the pot. (The 2+2 guys will say that you gain 'fold equity').
About the only situation where you wouldn't do this is if the rake is extremely significant, which it never is online. |

| throw out the advice in Super System 1. That's a section on high low with no qualifier. Although a lot of it still applies, it's two different games. Alex summed it up perfectly. |
