stud8 $0.25\$0.5 AQ6suited, should I just fold?

Poker Stars $0.25/$0.50 Limit Stud Hi/Lo $0.05 Ante - 8 players
DeucesCracked Poker Videos Hand History Converter

3rd Street: (1.6 SB)
Seat 1: xx xx 3____Seat 1 brings in for $0.10____Seat 1 calls
Seat 2: xx xx 6____Seat 2 completes
Seat 3: xx xx J____Seat 3 calls
Seat 4: xx xx J____Seat 4 folds
Seat 5: xx xx Q____Seat 5 folds
Seat 6: xx xx 6____Seat 6 calls
Seat 7: xx xx 9____Seat 7 calls
Hero: A Q 6___Hero calls

I think it's one of my leaks - calling with bad 3 flushes

So, What we have? My hand is pretty dead, 4 cards that I need are dead, but it's a family pot with guys that will pay me off if I hit, I am almost closing the action (bring in has that sweet "opencompleting with really good cards" leak, I almost sure that he'll not raise )

Is it OK to call here with the intention to fold anything but diamond or ace on 4th?

you are getting 6:1 on your call...with some mediocre hi cards in this pot already I dont see how you can fold here.

I mean you have strong hi hand and a shot on low

No he doesnt, his 6s and Qs are mostly dead. Its still a call but you'd like those pair/trips outs live as well.

while it's always better to have other ways to win a hand, as far as flush draws go, drawing to an AQx flush is a strong flush draw. and, his best card is still live.

hero stated that he has a leak calling with bad three flushes and it's important that he can tell the difference between a bad draw and a good draw. a better example of a bad flush draw (or a troublesome flush draw situation) would be: drawing to a Jack high flush draw while your Ace is already on board while the next guy is drawing to the AQx flush draw and the third guy is sitting with Kings. that's a bad flush draw, a bad, sticky situation.


op: in a multiway pot with a live flush draw, it's def. a good call to make and your position makes it less likely that it will cost you more than the one completion; just know what you're looking to hit; i mean, do you really want to make a pair of 6's on 4th? i'd rather hit the 4 or even the K.

and i would raise here as well. the strength hands are fighting a dead card as well. that makes your ace much more playable.

still got plenty of diamonds, live ace and low cards to fill the A-6 gap

so def should be taking a card on 3rd. idk about the raise coz these hands are hard to develop going into 4th
