Stud 8 $5/$10 Scoop

Most of the hands at this table were heads-up. At the river heads-up the pot would be approximately $87.00 which was the average pot. (not accounting for any rake taken out). Split pot would be $43.50 per hand, of course. I was stoked to catch this hand for a scoop with so many players. It was the first hand that I played for this particular session. I was dealt 10 hands previous to this one which were folded.

Sixth street was awesome. I thought I'd never get a chance to raise. Everyone kept checking to me. One guy had to raise all-in. It was my one opportunity to re-raise during the hand. I should have raised my draw on fourth since I was in position to and still keep everyone in.


This was a sweet pot

----------------------------------------------------------------

Unfortunately, the table broke down rather quickly as 3 of the players were severely underfunded and two other players were sitting out. I would have loved to sit there for a bit longer than I did. It isn't too often that a 5/10 stud 8 game gets going at this particular cardroom.
