 7 - stud question, Mark, 25. Mar 2003 07:47 | ||
| View ( Message | Thread ) | Return to Thread List | |
| I'm fairly new to 7-stud but have been winning over the last few weeks. This situation came up and I folded, unsure of whether i could call or not. An aggressive player raises with a J door card. He will raise as low as 77 and bluff with high door cards and when he picks up scare cards. He is loose, and calls too much, drawing thin or dead. But he is aggressive enough to re-raise with decent hands and can make the occasional lay -down. he is the average little too loose-aggressive online player. so he raises with a J showing. I have KsQs in the hole and a 5d door card. Can i call with this? One of my Queens were dead but everything else is live. mark | ||

| Folding is not bad here. We are missing important info though. Did you "bring it in?" Any overcards showing (Ace)? How many other people are in the pot? Where are the two of you in relation to the table? How many spades were showing? These all should be part of your thinking if you are contemplating continuing with the hand. If the two of you are heads up (others folding) it is an easy fold. If the two of you are playing headsup 7stud (1vs1) you may occasionally call or repop a hand such as this if you feel your opponent is getting out of line. - Nathaniel Brous | ||

| the ante and bring in (game structure) and the games texture is very important on how you play this hand. if it is low ante tight structure be more willing to fold. high ante loose structure be more willing to raise or call .I would also think about what other Hi up cards are on board as well there are a ton of cards that can help you on the next street the best advice I can give you with this limited information is to purchase Mike Caro's major poker seminar on video tape . It will give you a great set of outlines on how to deal with each type of player. | ||

| I could be convinced that there is a time to call here, but I'd be pretty happy to fold that little piggy and wait for something better. As a general rule, you want three cards that work well together or two cards that stand on their own two feet. Your 5 is useless, so you're playing aginst his JXY with your KQ_ ... just because he doesn't know that your hand is as good as it is doesn't make it good. | ||

| Fold this hand. It's garbage -- especially with the dead Queen. Your opponent may be bluffing but you haven't got a hand. Don't be deceived by big cards in Stud. Ashley Adams on 25.

| My advice would be to wait for a better opportunity. If however, you think that he needs to be kept inline, I would find this hand playable if the K or Q were your doorcard and then reraise. This puts him on the defensive and he has to give you credit for a higher pair. With the 5 as a door card he may figure you are chasing (which you might very well be) and make you pay for it. Good luck. | ||

| Thanks Ashley, I didn't think it was a great hand, but but was wondering if calling was a huge mistake. Would it be any different if everything was live? mark | ||
