Seven Card Stud - How would you play this?

[MK_]

I think this is a deceptively appealing hand for people... at first glance it looks good, ... but your outs are out,

hilo is about scooping or quartering, you're unlikely to achieve either here......😎👍

I'm not gonna take any chances. I'm going to play it safe. The charge is very close.

Oh what a difficult question for me because im not a talent in stud poker.
I would say play it not too agressive because our hand isnt such a monster in this game and only one ace is still avaiable in outs because player 5 is also holding not a bad hand for low hand.
I played only 3 times a stud tournament, i didnt like it because in many cases you have split pots and you have to decide very carefully at which spot you wanna risk ya stack and get busted ;-).

At least I wouldn't rule out trying it out in the future 😁😁😁

In this case, it would definitely be a hand for me that I could play cheaply but would also prefer to fold if the bet was too high.

I would proceed with extreme caution and check fold in this situation.

If player 2 starts betting he probably has 2 pairs and beats my high. If player 5 starts betting he could have flush and/or low and up to the end better low than mine. I think this situation is only mine to lose if I call to the showdown.

silly question: 'are you going to scoop or focus on getting a solid low hand ?'. what does that even mean ? English please ....is this an AI composed post ?you play the rest of the hand in the manner that returns the best EV . you may scoop on occasion , and split other times . sometimes you lose your whole stack but it was still a big +EV spot .once in a while folding is the best move . i dont really see a way to properly answer without more history in this hand, details about the opponents and other ICM info .i think its a great hand and would likely play it to seventh street at least !

Friends, I love giving my opinions and earning my chips, but honestly, if you put more than two cards in my hands, it would be so desperate and complicated for me, that I wouldn't even be able to think straight and if I got the money, it would really be a miracle.

I will fold for the following reasons. 1. payout implications. 2, Two opponents, with the chance I will be playing against one for the high and the other for the low with marginal hands for both, which makes me with the 2nd best hand on both. 3. Either one can put me all in.

At this point I'm willing to risk it all and go for a win. Min cashes are for the weak hahahaha.

In hi lo games, I prefer to go for the lo, maybe two players are fighting over the hi, so I take half the pot.
