Poker Video: Stud/Stud 8 by Joe Tall (Mid Stakes)

Nice video.

Have you figured out the FT replayer, yet?

Thank you!

Nice video.

Ha, no, I still f-it up all the time, LOL.

Thank you!

I could have done better but been a while for a live-Stud8 vid + two tables, but I feel I did get some good material in there.

FWIW, there are two sets of arrows in the replayer. The set in the lower right (where you so desperately clicked) only controls the flow of action of the currently viewed hand.

The arrows in the upper right are used to navigate between hands. I'm sure I saw you using them before.

This isn't a jam on 5th? A3457 vs a 24K and 36Q board?

KQT three diamonds hand, dead diamonds, dead jack, etc. with an Ace completing UTG. My question is if the game were stud high, would you call here? Or is it so dead that its flat dead even in high only.

Jeez what kind of incriminating pics do you have of howard lederer? Your 3rd street hands this session have been monstrous.

Yeah but if he has aces up you are in fine shape with 3 overcards to hit. Also since you have the case 2 aces and he doesn't know it, I feel you have a ton of playability on the big streets with a huge information gain. I'd continue until he actually catches another scary low card.

Time Link to 00:53:06

Yeah but there are 2 dead 3s and only one dead ace, I guess he is a favorite to catch either a 3 or his other holecard rather than the ace so you are a hefty favorite vs his queens up betting range. But this strikes me as one of those spots where you need to be right > 75% of the time because the third guy is freerolling you guys if he made his low, so you are just getting value for your half the pot.

Hrmmmmm, this is very interesting and I've rethought it a bit and I'm stuck. Here is my initial reply:

OK first of all, I get called in two spots when I open complete, bet 4th, get raised by the 2-flush xx4Ks, and cold called by the xx36o. The 2-flush is 100% live in spades.

________________________________
I hit my low on 5th, with a dead-ish wheel, dead-ish 6-low draw. I donk out and get raised by the 3-flush with 2-low cards. Now, I'm 99% sure this player has a flush, I can only hope he has brick-flush cards in the hole but 3rd was paint and the player in question is standard-ish TAG, where as he'll play 3-flushes but only when he can pair. And since this is not razz, he has a flush, he's on the scoop-free-roll, so this is going to be capped. Such a hand has over 50% equity, might be as high as 60%, going to guess that I might have high as 40% but I am looking at only 1/2 the pot.

Man, I guess I gotta run all outcomes to find the EV. Just talked to Rob about it, he agrees.

Yes way too dead for Stud-hi. As a drill you should list all the reasons why, honestly. You should be able to come up with at least 4-reasons this is a fold, even in stud-hi.

Yeah but if he has aces up you are in fine shape with 3 overcards to hit. Also since you have the case 2 aces and he doesn't know it, I feel you have a ton of playability on the big streets with a huge information gain. I'd continue until he actually catches another scary low card.

It's a fold. No time to work on it but this is a RIO nightmare, he clearly has you free-rolled for low and you can only hope he has Aces-up.
