Poker Video: Stud/Stud 8 by ceegee (High Stakes)

Right table: I do like a fold best here, since you had a note on him as "loose passive" and your hand is totally dead. The pot is not that big and we have to fold almost any 4th/5th to his bet. Also the dead A and K hurt us too, since it's hard for us to make a bigger 2pair the times when he has QQ.

Ya it's more of a fold with the 5 dead I agree. I noticed the 5 was dead after I called. Even though he's loose passive he still has a lot of hands hes stilling with in steal position.

Left table: Is it a big mistake to fold here? I mean, yes he is often on a steal, but we've raised his A door complete a couple hands ago and he might backplay this time, also the pot is tiny and our hand is dead.

Wouldn't be a big mistake if a mistake at all, but I have a lot of history with him and I felt raising was my best option as I've seen him raise as little as XTA here.

Left table: Don't you think he would have raised AA on 4th?

Most people wait till 5th to come alive since it's a big bet street. His line screamed a hand better than my trips.

R: Isn't our raise here very transparent? We always have the 4flush here. I think we should rather call for overcall to keep the 3rd player in, because assuming Sexton has a range of (22-AA,*c*c,BB,BM), most of the equity of the folding player goes to him (+20%) and we improve only by 7,5% (rough sim 3way and HU).

That would be great and all if the 3rd guy didn't have only 1 bet behind him. I was able to take a free card on sexton and play the hand with more flexability so I took that line.

L: Knowing GambleKat is very aggressive and will resteal a lot, I wonder if we could call 3rd and bluff him on 4th or 5th considering we have a J in the hole?

That's just getting spewy. He always has a hand here

L: You said you represented a 4flush on 4th. I really can't see you beeing on a flush when d/c 4th.

Ceegee what are your thoughts on this?

Ya it's more of a fold with the 5 dead I agree. I noticed the 5 was dead after I called. Even though he's loose passive he still has a lot of hands hes stilling with in steal position.

From ProPokerTools:

dead cards: 5c Kc As 7d Ts

* * | Qh 49.52% 297,089
5s 5h Tc 50.48% 302,896

Even if he's raising any three, you're 50-50! If you can win the pot unimproved sometimes, things are different, but this still looks like an easy fold...

All my best,

I notice that you are often raising lower cards after higher cards you think might be stealing are completing. Are you doing this purposefully with lower doors because you are likely to be in position? Then again I guess if you had a higher door it wouldn't be as much of a steal situation for them.

its more because i think they are stealing a wide range and we have value. We also have fold equity if they raise/fold ever.
