More Horseing around - Stud Hi

Played some Stud Hi tonight in my never ending quest to suck in games besides hold'em. Here are some discussion worthy hands. Only a few hand this time, promise..

7 Card Stud High ($0.50/$1), Ante $0.10, Bring-In $0.15 (converter) 3rd Street - (1.60 SB) Seat 1: xx xx 6___folds Seat 2: xx xx 8___folds Seat 3: xx xx K___folds Hero: T 7 A___completes Seat 5: xx xx 5___calls Seat 6: xx xx 2___brings-in___calls Seat 7: xx xx 2___folds Seat 8: xx xx 8___folds I elect to steal with the A showing against two babies behind me. Doesn't work, they both call. 4th Street - (4.60 SB) Hero: T 7 A Q___bets Seat 5: xx xx 5 3___calls Seat 6: xx xx 2 Q___calls I hit a Q, I'm still going to bet and try to represent. At this point I think seat 5 might have some type of straight draw, and seat 2 has some pair.  5th Street - (3.80 BB) Hero: T 7 A Q J___bets Seat 5: xx xx 5 3 9___folds Seat 6: xx xx 2 Q 8___folds I hit another broadway. Come on, they HAVE to fold now. Yes, they do. Total pot: (3.80 BB - $3.80) 7 Card Stud High ($0.50/$1), Ante $0.10, Bring-In $0.15 (converter) 3rd Street - (1.60 SB) Seat 1: xx xx 3___folds Seat 2: xx xx 7___calls___calls Seat 3: xx xx 4___folds Hero: K J K___completes Seat 5: xx xx Q___calls Seat 6: xx xx 4___folds Seat 7: xx xx 3___calls Seat 8: xx xx 3___brings-in___folds I get two Ks and with the highest card showing I confidently complete. Get some action here as 4 people go to 4th in this raised pot. 4th Street - (5.90 SB) Seat 2: xx xx 7 J___bets___calls Hero: K J K 8___raises Seat 5: xx xx Q 9___calls Seat 7: xx xx 3 A___checks___calls Seat 2 now wakes up and starts betting after getting the J, and I decide to raise, for two reasons. 1) I might still have the best hand and 2), I want to knock people out. If I get that A to fold that's an overcard I can get out of there. Doesn't work though, they both call. 5th Street - (6.95 BB) Seat 2: xx xx 7 J K___checks Hero: K J K 8 5___checks Seat 5: xx xx Q 9 6___checks Seat 7: xx xx 3 A T___checks Seat 7 is now showing 3 spades and with the way he called on 4th it looks like he may have a flush. Gets checked around.  6th Street - (6.95 BB) Seat 2: xx xx 7 J K 8___folds Hero: K J K 8 5 Q___calls Seat 5: xx xx Q 9 6 J___calls Seat 7: xx xx 3 A T T___bets Now seat 7 hits open Ts and bets. Could have two pair, could have a flush, could just have Ts and 4 spades. With seat 2 folding I elect to call. Should I have raised here in case seat 5 is drawing? He could easily have a T in the hole.  River - (9.95 BB) Hero: K J K 8 5 Q 5___checks___calls Seat 5: xx xx Q 9 6 J xx___bets Seat 7: xx xx 3 A T T xx___checks___calls I hit Ks up on the river and am committed to calling the final bet. I'm hoping Seat 5 really just has Qs up and is value betting a rivered two pair.   Total pot: (12.95 BB - $12.95) Results are messed up but seat 5 had Td 9d 8h in the hole to win with the straight, and seat 7 had 4s 3h 2c in the hole. So my two pair were no good, but I'm guessing seat 7 started with that 3 so I was behind on 5th anyway.7 Card Stud High ($0.50/$1), Ante $0.10, Bring-In $0.15 (converter) 3rd Street - (1.60 SB) Seat 1: xx xx K___folds Seat 2: xx xx T___calls Seat 3: xx xx 7___folds Hero: 9 J 4___brings-in Seat 5: xx xx Q___calls Seat 6: xx xx 8___folds Seat 7: xx xx 6___calls Seat 8: xx xx 4___folds I'm the bring in here and with no raises I get to see 4th with this spectacular hand. 4th Street - (2.80 SB) Seat 2: xx xx T 2___checks Hero: 9 J 4 5___checks Seat 5: xx xx Q 4___checks Seat 7: xx xx 6 9___checks I hit a 5, nobody seems to have anything as it gets checked around. 5th Street - (1.40 BB) Seat 2: xx xx T 2 K___checks Hero: 9 J 4 5 A___checks Seat 5: xx xx Q 4 T___checks Seat 7: xx xx 6 9 3___checks I hit an A, might have the best hand. Being OOP though, I check. Might be a mistake. 6th Street - (1.40 BB) Seat 2: xx xx T 2 K 2___checks___folds Hero: 9 J 4 5 A 9___bets Seat 5: xx xx Q 4 T 7___calls Seat 7: xx xx 6 9 3 2___folds Now I do pair up and after the 2s check to me I bet with my 9s and A up. Seat 5 decides to call. Maybe a pair of 7s? River - (3.40 BB) Hero: 9 J 4 5 A 9 5___bets Seat 5: xx xx Q 4 T 7 xx___folds I pair again and now I'm happy to bet my concealed two pair. Seat 7 folds though. Total pot: (3.40 BB - $3.40) 7 Card Stud High ($0.50/$1), Ante $0.10, Bring-In $0.15 (converter) 3rd Street - (1.20 SB) Seat 1: xx xx 4___folds Seat 3: xx xx 6___folds Hero: 3 9 K___completes Seat 5: xx xx 4___brings-in___calls Seat 6: xx xx J___folds Seat 7: xx xx 7___folds Another steal hand. I think this is worth trying to pickup the antes. 4th Street - (3.20 SB) Hero: 3 9 K A___bets Seat 5: xx xx 4 5___calls Pickup an A and I'm still going to bet it. I could very well be ahead with just AK high, and if not, I probably have 9 outs to get ahead.  5th Street - (2.60 BB) Hero: 3 9 K A 8___bets Seat 5: xx xx 4 5 J___calls GO AWAY ALREADY!  6th Street - (4.60 BB) Hero: 3 9 K A 8 7___checks___calls Seat 5: xx xx 4 5 J T___bets On 6th I finally give up the lead. I'm not ready to give up on the pot yet though, even though that J or T could have helped him. I call it. River - (6.60 BB) Hero: 3 9 K A 8 7 3___checks___calls Seat 5: xx xx 4 5 J T xx___bets I pair my 3. I honestly wanted to just see what the hell he had here. So I called. Total pot: (8.60 BB - $8.60) He had 8c 3c 2c in the hole. I'm guessing the 8 came on the river, and he was in there with an OESD. Still, he did bluff on the river, though I wasn't expecting to win this one.  7 Card Stud High ($0.50/$1), Ante $0.10, Bring-In $0.15 (converter) 3rd Street - (1.60 SB) Seat 1: xx xx 2___brings-in___folds Seat 2: xx xx 9___folds Seat 3: xx xx J___folds Hero: A A 4___completes___raises Seat 5: xx xx 6___folds Seat 6: xx xx 9___raises___calls Seat 7: xx xx 8___calls___calls Seat 8: xx xx 7___folds I pick up wired aces and complete. Seat 6 raises it up with a 9 showing and with 1 other 9 dead, it was not very likely he was rolled up. I put him on a big pocket pair, so I reraised. Seat 7 comes along for the ride as well. 4th Street - (10.90 SB) Hero: A A 4 3___calls Seat 6: xx xx 9 5___folds Seat 7: xx xx 8 8___double-bets And that motherfuckin seat 7 hits open 8s. Should I have just mucked here? No other 8s were out, he could have trips. He sure is representing that he has it. The pot is so damned big though that I want to at least see 5th street. 5th Street - (7.45 BB) Hero: A A 4 3 2___calls Seat 7: xx xx 8 8 K___bets I pickup a wheel draw and call. Probably should have folded, I am drawing very slim against trip 8s and I'm going to have to call on 6th as well. I think I'm only about 12% to catch a 5 or A on the next stret. 6th Street - (9.45 BB) Hero: A A 4 3 2 4___calls Seat 7: xx xx 8 8 K Q___bets I catch aces up and call because he might just have a pair or K in the hole. I commit myself at this point. River - (11.45 BB) Hero: A A 4 3 2 4 5___raises___raises Seat 7: xx xx 8 8 K Q xx___bets___raises___calls I make my wheel and go nuts. Not too happy when he put the 4th bet in. Total pot: (19.45 BB - $19.45) He had motherfucking K8 in the hole of course. Fucking great play calling after a completion and a raise with (K8)8 with nothing invested. The other guy though had the discipline to lay it down against the open 8s on 4th, I should have done the same thing.  7 Card Stud High ($0.50/$1), Ante $0.10, Bring-In $0.15 (converter) 3rd Street - (1.60 SB) Seat 1: xx xx 7___folds Seat 2: xx xx 4___folds Seat 3: xx xx 5___folds Hero: 6 6 3___calls Seat 5: xx xx 9___calls Seat 6: xx xx 9___folds Seat 7: xx xx 7___calls Seat 8: xx xx 3___brings-in I elected to call here. Lot of low cards out & my cards are live.  4th Street - (2.80 SB) Hero: 6 6 3 4___checks Seat 5: xx xx 9 7___checks Seat 7: xx xx 7 T___checks Seat 8: xx xx 3 T___checks I hit a 4, it gets checked around. 5th Street - (1.40 BB) Hero: 6 6 3 4 3___bets Seat 5: xx xx 9 7 J___calls Seat 7: xx xx 7 T 2___calls Seat 8: xx xx 3 T K___calls Now I hit my two pair and bet it. Not happy with the 3 calls. Lots of ways I can get beat with ust a low two pair. 6th Street - (5.40 BB) Hero: 6 6 3 4 3 8___checks Seat 5: xx xx 9 7 J 8___checks Seat 7: xx xx 7 T 2 5___checks Seat 8: xx xx 3 T K 5___checks I check, probably a mistake. I have a no-limit mindset of keeping the pot small but in limit it's about not giving away free cards.  River - (5.40 BB) Hero: 6 6 3 4 3 8 8___bets Seat 5: xx xx 9 7 J 8 xx___folds Seat 7: xx xx 7 T 2 5 xx___folds Seat 8: xx xx 3 T K 5 xx___calls I river a higher two pair and bet it for value. All 3 players fold, which means I definitely missed a value bet on 6th. Total pot: (7.40 BB - $7.40) 7 Card Stud High ($0.50/$1), Ante $0.10 (converter) 3rd Street - (0.60 SB) Seat 1: xx xx A___calls Hero: 5 7 7___completes Seat 8: xx xx 9___folds Some hands later the game is all of a sudden short handed. I open-complete with two 7s, A calls. I probably have the best hand. 4th Street - (2.60 SB) Seat 1: xx xx A J___checks___calls Hero: 5 7 7 5___bets I hit two pair and keep betting. He calls, could very well just have AJ high. 5th Street - (2.30 BB) Seat 1: xx xx A J K___checks___raises Hero: 5 7 7 5 6___bets___calls He checks his K and I keep betting again, don't want to give any free cards with that board. He unfortunately raises me, I call here though because it's shorthanded, he might have a pair and a draw. 6th Street - (6.30 BB) Seat 1: xx xx A J K 6___bets Hero: 5 7 7 5 6 J___calls I call again, though he could have a flush here. River - (8.30 BB) Seat 1: xx xx A J K 6 xx___bets___calls Hero: 5 7 7 5 6 J 5___raises I hit my gin card and raise his bet. He only calls. He had Ks Kc 2c in the hole for trip kings. I'm guessing he likely rivered the 3rd king, can't see him just calling on 3rd with (KK)A. I guess slowplaying is possible though. Either way, that pot puts me at even for the session. With the table breaking up, I call it quits.  Total pot: (12.30 BB - $12.30)
