3rd is not my standard play. this time i wanted to try to represent aces in the hole if my opponents bricked

not sure if i should raise again on river but basically was scared by that point. he either has a low or full house.

on 5th i was not really confident that my opponent had three of a kind necessarily, because i struggled to believe he called 1 bet then 3 more with just sevens. by about the time i capped and he called i did believe it.

on 6th i was starting to be afraid he was full but in case he wasn't...

i don't know if i messed this up or what.

All I've got (and I don't mean to sound snarky) is that I don't think it's possible to represent anything for 40 cents.

yeah reading ray zee's book makes me do some things that don't work here

I suppose it's ok for becoming familiar w/ how the game works and all of that but you're playing a game that's prob unbeatable bec of the rake, players sit down w/ maybe $20 and wouldn't care if you showed them Aces if they have a hand they want to play. Nobody's playing to win because the money doesn't mean anything, they're just there to click buttons while browsing or watching TV.

If I played that game it'd be str8 ABC, no moves, nothing fancy, etc.

I didn't really believe it's not beatable because of rake because a lot of the players suck, but I looked at my FPDB and it says the rake over >6k hands is 5bb/100. I am losing $20 at this level, but without rake I would be winning $20.

And there you have it but the real point is is that you're playing just above play money and, hahahahaha, I get to say it: Nobody is going to respect your raises!

in all the games slow down against open pairs unless you really have a good read that they dont have trips.

i dont recall saying to jam with a three card nine in the game

Initially I just found it difficult to believe someone would call all those bets on 4th with just a pair and 3 to a low, so i didnt actually think he had a 7 in the hole at first.

If he was full on 5th then i think he would have played the 2 pair on 4th stronger, but he just called all the bets.

So after he raises on 5th then i think OK he just has 3 sevens on 5th street and I am a good favourite. So I am happy to jam.

On 6th i think now he could be full with that card, but i also think he probably jams with 3 sevens and a low draw.

So do you think jam it on 5th but slow down on 6th - bet out and when he raises just call and call 1 bet on the river?

you certainly did not!

a rare non standard play on my part. but i think on 3rd the upcards are weak so it's a better situation to bluff.

forget about reading hands, when you get alot of action and your board looks strong then you should pull back as few will raise into a strong board without being able to beat it..

plus this is split and even if you win you likely may get half.

have read on a lot of places about the rake on stud8 is taking all the profit from good players on lower limits. what limit is the lowest you can play without the rake bing such a big factor?

i can't beat 10c/20c after >6k hands but i can beat 25c/50c. when playing i remember it being noticeably easier at 25c/50c... just seemed like my chips lasted longer. on the other hand i am beating 4c/8c after 6k hands also!

most times if the pots are usually getting bigger than the top of where the rake ends you can beat the game as then you arent still getting raked for every dollar you put in.

3rd: i don't understand 4bet
4th: looks fine
5th: after getting 3bet i like calling and planning to raise 6th
6th: raise/call down

i'm highly discounting spades + 3's and 6's are live. not sure how likely fullhouses are, but this is the microstakes.
