Stud Hi/Lo hand

Flushdraw

Appreciate any comments on how i played this hand. Its a HORSE STT and we're not long into the Stud H/L so no reads for this particular game.

Flushdraw??

The 8 pairing my hand on 6th street gives Bradley the checkmark to attack the low pot. bigdig hasnt really shown any major strength for the high so i'm thinking i might also have outs for the high aswel as the low.

Should i just give up on this hand or check call it down? Did i play it well up til 6th atreet?

DeadParrot

Personally, I'd give up on it.
Maybe I dont know enough about Hi/Lo Stud but I think you are drawing pretty thin to both pots

Imposter

Bradley either has a low or a pair (probably Aces) - so you are ahead of him for half the pot. If you think you can get bigdig to fold then a raise mightn't be a bad move.

I'd probably call it down though.

cuterob

i woulda folded earlier..stud can be tricky though especially with a horse game when you dont have all that long to figure out players

hotspur

Okay assuming you don't fold earlier because stud is tricky!

Your bet on 4th street is a glaring error. Drawing to a naked 8 low draw you do not want to be betting there, especially when you can see another probable low draw who is 6 low as far as you know.

On 6th street you should actually raise Bradley's bet as Bigdig should be forced to fold his pair of queens if that's all he has to a bet from an ace and reraise from a paired 8's when both players can clearly be going low too. If Bradley was going low and paired his ace then you are winning the low with outs, if the ace made his low then you are beating him for the high with 88 with a probable draw to beating him for the low.

Flushdraw

Thanks Hotspur, that all makes pretty good sense. I lead out on 4th street because i was hoping that bigdig would raise and that thirteenclubs would hang around for high and bradley would fold his low draw.This leaves me getting 3-1 fighting for half the pot.

Flawed thinking especially as Bradley was holding a 43 to go along with his 65 and he wasnt going anywhere at any time in that hand!
