Busto. Didn't think I was getting called this light, but shovebot says it was still a shove.

Thought it was a little light myself, but probably one of my last chances for FE.

In that hand where you win the high pot with JJJ66, do you 3-bet 7th street because you think the [chance he has a better high and no low] > [the chance he has backed into a better high - straight flush or aces full]?

This isn't a criticism - I don't know stud 8 well, or the math behind it, but i'm curious if that's something that can or has been solved. I guess you had the 6 of clubs which blocks that straight flush.

2nd break. chipped up a little to 5,849.

This is the hand in question:

Given the way he played the hand + the dead ace on 3rd, it's really unlikely that he had a pair of aces at any point in the hand.(which is part of the reason I'm comfortable betting 4th into a very scary board) If he backed into a boat, it was probably not ace high. To be honest, I didn't even consider straight flush possibilities, but you pointed out we have the blocker to the SF and it's near impossible for him to have a SF given the way he played the hand.

Granted most of the time we are chopping, but the times he has a smaller boat or a high flush without a low seems way more likely than him having a better high.

So basically, to answer your question, YES. (I think you worded it a little confusingly)

BTW, criticize(ask questions) all you want. I'm still learning and getting better. I play too many games to be a master at any of them.
