| I was taking a break from getting abused in my holdem games so I decided to try my hand at some low limit stud. Now I am by no means as competent in stud as I am in holdem but against these guys I was not in any trouble as the terrible plays and hands they were involved in were shocking. One example I thought I would pass along that happens in stud moreso than holdem is when you have an obvious strong hand staring your opponent in the face on the river and you don't improve (such as you will see below) it is a tragedy for you to bet as only one of two things can happen, 1) your opponent will fold and you gain nothing extra or 2) your opponent will call or raise you and you are certain to lose. Hand history Total number of players : 7 Seat 1: a ( $42.50) Seat 2: b $68.50) Seat 3: c ( $56.75) Seat 5: d ( $52.75) Seat 6: e( $129.50) Seat 7: f ( $25) Seat 8: g ( $30.25) ** Dealing ** Dealt to a [ 7h, Qh ] Dealt to a [ 4h ] Dealt to b [ 2h ] Dealt to c [ Tc ] Dealt to d [ Kd ] Dealt to e [ 6d ] Dealt to f [ 5c ] Dealt to g [ 4d ] b bring-ins (0.25) c calls (0.25) d calls (0.25) e folds. f calls (0.25) g calls (0.25) a calls (0.25) ** Dealing Fourth street ** Dealt to a [ As ] Dealt to b [ Jd ] Dealt to c [ Td ] Dealt to d [ 9c ] Dealt to f [ Ts ] Dealt to g [ Ah ] c bets (0.50) d calls (0.50) f calls (0.50) g folds. a folds. b folds. ** Dealing Fifth street ** Dealt to c [ Th ] Trip 10's now showing go ahead and bet d [ 9s ] f [ 6h ] c bets (1) Board 10, 10, 10, d calls (1) Board K, 9, 9 f folds. ** Dealing Sixth street ** Dealt c [ 5h ] Dealt d [ 2d ] c bets (1) d calls (1) You should definately be thinking this guy has at least trip 9's ** Dealing River ** c bets (1) here is the redicolous bet because he doesn't improve to a boat or quads and will only get called if he is beat. He doesn't think before he bets. Don't let this be you. d calls (1) ** Summary ** c lost $4 [ Kh 9d Tc Td Th 5h 8c ] [ three of a kind, tens -- Kh,Tc,Td,Th,9d ] d bet $4, collected $10.25, net +$6.25 [ 9h Qc Kd 9c 9s 2d Kc ] [ a full house, Nines full of kings -- Kd,Kc,9h,9c,9s ] Peanuts over all money wise but an important lesson none the less. | ||
