Limit Stud H/L Question

its impossible to properly judge this hand without some context. the only info i have about these players is from the showdown.

3rd: i wouldn't raise this hand at this stage of a mtt/sng. better to limp and save chips. in my experience its much better to lower variance whenever possible against a weak stud8 field, at least until the later stages.

6th: after the donk bet and flat call you must realise you are going to showdown no matter what. clearly neither of these players care about what you're repping. call > raise.

also worth mentioning you do have a pair on 6th. if you could confront 44q8 with 2 bets cold i would consider raising to give your 5's a better shot at high but he's never folding for just one more bet after you raise. unfortunately in this hand you were in a bad position for raising to knock players out the whole way, although as i said i don't think its a particularly good idea against players like this.

In fact, I wasn't thinking high at all.
3-way I have found I can get chips if I have a good low hand, and I can keep people in -- and in these tournaments, they almost always stay in in the early stages.

Sometime you start w/ A23 then hit a 5 then never see another low card, but such is life.

thanks for the comments
