To be honest, this was the Forum Weekly....so I was only 1/2 paying attention, so I'm basically only playing my cards/my opponents' boards.

Absolutely no reads, except that FireandFold is super-aggressive.

I'm wondering about how aggressive (or lack of it) I should be in these hands. I'll highlight my thoughts along the way....feel free to comment. I've removed the Ante portion of the HHs to neaten things up. I couldn't find a hand converter for Stud Hi.....are there any?

Hand #6

I'm really interested in all feedback on this hand. It's possibly a huge turning point in this tourney.

Should I have been pushing this so hard on 3rd, and betting all the way down?

Any stud players out there?

Hand 1 - The check on 5th is ok. I'd take the free card on sixth as well. You have lots of outs, and he likely has some type of pair in the hole.

Hand 2 - with a Q dead, its close. You can make an argument for folding, calling, or raising here.

Hand 3 - Fold. Not enough players in to draw to the str8, and a 9 and T are dead.

Hand 4 - It seems like an easy fold because it is. Your Ks are virtually dead, and its too expensive to chase an A.

Hand 5 - Your guess is as good as mine. With the field already thinned, he could be slowplaying a pair of Aces.

Hand 6 - well played, you have a better two pair.

Honest_Rob · Posted: Mon Mar 31, 2008 12:05 am Post subject:

Hand 1: Either switch your 5th and 6th street actions or just check both.
Hand 2: Just how aggresive? If he's stealing every pot then raise here. Even if he's just moderately aggriesive a raise here is ok. Folding is ok too. I'd probably raise more often though. Don't call in his spot.
Hand 3: Fold. If you were suited then take a card. Plus some of your pair outs are dead.
Hand 4: Fold all day then wake up in the middle of the night and fold again imo.
Hand 5: I doubt he's slowplaying aces here. Most people jus wouldn'do that but that comes down to your individual read on that player. I think it's more likely he has a four flush or some kind of pockert pair. It's tough to advocate a play without any reads but I'd probably call down on 5th then reevaluate.
Hand 6: You played it fine. If you lost the hand oh well it happens sometimes.

1st hand: i like leading 5th for value. you've got a 4 flush, 3 straight and not to mention what could still possibly be good in a pair of Q's. i lead 5th with this hand almost 95% of the time.

2nd hand: i'm fine with a fold here. theres already a dead Q and a couple of your backdoor straight cards are out there as well.

3rd hand: standard fold, imo. 3 straights are way over rated, and even more so with some of your pair cards being out there.

4th hand: easy fold. even your backdoor clubs are gone and with that kind of action to you, its a no brainer fold.

5th hand: with most wired pairs, if live, i'll usually call to 5th and re-evaluate. the implied odds on getting paid on a set are great in stud and if you can stay in for small bets till 5th then by all means do so. in this particular hand it looks as it is highly unlikely he played an A that way. i might be inclined to call 5th then re-evaluate on 6th. remember you are showing a 4 door card and lots of bad will not give you any credit here for a pair of T's + in the hole.

6th hand: no complaints, nh.

Hand 1: Bet 5th for value, and also because he could have started w/ a 3 to a draw, and bricked and will just fold his pair of 2s. If he calls 5th and you dont improve 6th, check behind him. Check on 7th w/ no improvement also.

Hand 2: Easy fold

Hand 3: Everyone has low cards so I'm taking a card in this spot. Maybe even two if I think I can outplay this guy.

Hand 4: Easy fold

Hand 5: I am raising 4th to see what he does. If he reraises or calls and leads 5th I'm dropping ship. If he calls and checks, I'm betting 5th also. Its likely he's just betting into you since you have a 4 door card and he is too dense to realize there is a such thing as buried pairs.

Hand 6: Good play throughout.
