hand 1 i'd play the same way
hand 2. Don't like the river bet, just check it down.
hand 3 i really dont like calling the raise on 3rd. And since you did call, I'd prolly raise 4th and see what happens.
hand 4. i prolly dump that on 5th but you're prolly getting good enough odds to play it.

Hand 1: Played Fine. The fact he makes an open pair and then bets it out after calling all that way means that he has two pair. If he bets the river and you are still UI then you should fold that, especially against a decent player.
Hand 2: I would probably check raise this on 4th and lead out on 5th. You are a favourite to win with this hand over a pair AFAIK and you also add a bit of deception to your hand with just an 85 showing, they may think you hit two pair and will call you down with a bigger pair.
River is a check behind as well I think.
Hand 3:
Even if villain is a donk, I think this is a fold seeing as some of your outs are dead. I don't really like calling with high cards in this spot without anyone else in the hand. If he has Kings then you are playing catch up without the right odds.
Hand 4:
I would probably limp there seeing as we have callers already and some big cards behind and probably bet on 4th and see how many people stick around then re-evaluate on 5th, but probably bet again unless a scare card comes.
I would probably be folding the river UI, but then again I don't know if one pair is good a lot of the time at low stakes stud.
Hope that helps.

you can't fold the river in hand 4. Pot is too big and theres too good a chance he only has 7s, especially with the weak action on 4th.
Posted Sun Nov 05, 2006 2:52 pm GMT by crack
Maybe not, That's why I prefer to be the aggressor then he may fold it or if I don't improve I can check behind.
Posted Sun Nov 05, 2006 3:50 pm GMT by Jefecaminador
Yup, if you're willing to call on 5th, you might as well bet out.

Good points made here ... lets see if I can defend my play.
Hand #2: I felt like my opponent lays down a pair here and considering his sixth check he doesn't seem that strong. Maybe I should've bet sixth to setup a river bluff. I like crack's like of c/r 4th and leading 5th, shows a lot of strength and I've got a good amount of outs to hit, especially since his hand looks so weak.
Hand #3: Very shaky call on 3rd I agree, I got lucky there =/
hand #4: I feel like should've folded the river, folded it earlier or played that hand stronger. I think 3rd might've been a fold since I don't have an overcard and a raise won't thin the field much. Betting out on 4th or 5th may have helped my cause, but I definetly needed help to win a showdown.

No you should never fold that, never ever ever.
I wouldn't even fold that if it was folded round from the BI let alone two callers. If you are going to limp with the hand then you want callers in. You don't have an overcard, but you are going to see 4th and 5th relatively cheaply and there is a good chance you have the best hand seeing as no one has shown aggression yet.
Plus your Tens and 6's are live. Never fold this hand in this spot.
