Although this is in the glory corner, comments are welcome, as I am trying to improve my S8b game.

This is Bodog, and I had only played a few hands. This was the first big pot at the table, and given that this is Bodog and S8b, I didn't give my opponents much respect.
Bodog doesnt record the folded hands up cards:

tightbd Fold $ 0.25 brings-in and folds.
Beavis68 Raise $ 0.50 - I complete the bring-in figuring my hand is pretty well disguised against this bunch.
david Call $ 0.50
BMC Call $ 0.50
faramir Call $ 0.50

BMC Call bets $ 0.50 -calls
faramir Call $ 0.50 - calls
Beavis68 Raise raises to $1 - I want to raise here to see if BMC actually had a set, but I doubt it, I am also hopind I can get David to fold is he hit a pair.
david Call calls 1$

Dealing 5th

BMC Call checks -calls
faramir Call checks - calls
Beavis68 Raise bets $1
david Call calls 1$


david Call checks -calls
BMC Call checks -calls
faramir Call bets $1
Beavis68 Raise calls - maybe I chould have raised here, but I am thinking I want to let the other lows stay in.

david Call x checks -calls
BMC Call x bets checks -calls
faramir Call x checks-calls
Beavis68 Raise well, everyone checked, so I figure MHIG and bet $1.


Total pot ended up at $18.15 after rake.

Beavis68 1 wins $ 13.55
david 3 $ -4.60
BMC 4 $-4.60
faramir 6 $-4.60

How in the world do david and faramir both have the 4 of diamonds on 5th, 6th, and 7th?

Looks like David's 4d is a mistake, he's got one more card than the others do at that point.

Plus, it's not in his hand at the end.

Nicely done,

One day I'll learn Stud

I know, I was being difficult.

Anyway, I have noticed that not too many online players play Stud or S8b very well. I have entered a couple of Stud tourneys and they turn out to be suck out contests. You got aces in the whole? Forget it. You will lose to the straight or the flush. I think the worst hand I've seen win before the first break of any of the tourneys was Queens up.

Speaking of this hand... You played it correctly for the most part. About the only thing I'd have done differently would be to raise on 6th street. You already had aces up and no one was likely to fold, so it is a value raise.

Bodogs hand histories suck, I had to do all the conversion by hand.

I know. I was jus playin.

As far as your hand, well played. Each of the other players took their hands too far. Faramir should have never bet out on 6th with just 2 pair. You (3rd street raiser) were showing a pair of your door card which USUALLY means trips. At the least it means two pair (which you had) and the pair showing was bigger than both of his pairs. But, he paid you off. This is why stud can be a very profitable game if one plays tight enough.
