A little known Stud poker fact |

I've just learnt something new and I thought I'd share it 
We all know that in Stud (though NOT Stud-8) if a player has paired up on 4th, they can make a double bet but did you know that if that player chooses to check/single bet, the other players on that betting round can choose to make a double sized bet/raise? I had no idea until just know when a guy with 22 up checked, the next guy single bet and I had the option to single or double raise. I figured that if the paired guy didn't take the option, 4th continued as if there was no pair up.
Did you know that participating in a poker forum can help you improve your own game? Be it by sharing experiences or simply asking for help, participation in a forum helps you focus and keep 'on topic' which will help you improve your game. You can learn from other players feedback and from their experiences. Why the THP poker forums? We offer one of the best managed texas holdem poker forums available, and the community within is far more friendly than those typicaly found on other sites. We've made a 'lurkers edition' of the poker forum available here on Holdem Poker Online, but we encourage all visitors to register and join in on the conversations on TexasHoldem-Poker.com

Yeah, essentially 4th street becomes an "optional" big bet street when there is a paired board in Stud high.
