Stud 8: Interesting hand.

[dsaxton]

No read on this player, but I think his hand is pretty obvious since we were playing Stud 8, and most players tend not to reraise with king or queen upcards unless they're legitimately holding that pair (the reason probably being that most understand that they're likelier to have to show down their hand against a player who was going low). This was more of a stud high hand, but I thought it illustrated how you can sometimes trap another player with a hidden hand in this game.

dsaxton, why no raise on 6th but a raise on 7th?

[dsaxton]

He reraised on 5th street, so I guessed he had made queens up. I chased on 6th street and made aces up on the river. I raised figuring he'd probably call with a worse two pair.
