| 2-4 eight or better stud. Low card brings it in for $1. First race can only make it $2. What hands should be raised on third street.? Which hands can you continue if you cash a brick on fourth st? Thanks. | ||

Which hands can you > continue if you cash a brick on fourth st? Thanks. So much depends on the cards that are out on third street on whether you should be raising or just calling. Even though this is a high-low game, it's still seven card stud and your hand must be "Live" before you consider a raise with it. "Live cards" are very important in stud. That being said, 2 Aces can be raised on third street, and very strong low cards can be raised as well. Hands like, 3-4-5 suited, A-2-3, any Ace with two other wheel cards, and three low cards to a flush or a straight flush. Hands that have strong potential to backing in to a straight or a flush (like the ones mentioned), have so much more value then the low hands that have too many gaps in them like, 8-7-2, or 2-7-6. Those low startings need to be played with caution and should not be played if there are too many low draws in the pot already. They're real money losers in this game. Most of the time I wouldn't even consider playing the "trashy" low starting hands, there's no reason to. Get into good practice by playing only strong low starting hands. $$$. Rolled up hands should be raised as well. If the game is super tight then you can take a chance sometimes and not raise with roll ups, however if there is already a player involved on third street, put in a raise. High pairs should also be played with extreme caution as many of the time they will need to be folded, either on third street or when the betting gets to be too strong with too many bets and raises. I really don't advocate playing the high pairs in stud high-low. As far as taking a card off, that really depends on the size of the pot on 4th street and if your cards were extremely strong to begin with and your cards are extremely live on 4th street. Your best policy is to NOT take a card off because in the long run you might be losing money. 4 POKER | ||
