7 card stud update

Well I've moved onto the 6 max 1/2 tables. 2+2 says it's an easier game to beat and that looks to be right. With fewer players to draw out and a smaller ante relative to the betting it's much more generous to tight play. Hence, I've gotten down to seeing 4rth ~20%.
The players aren't much better either, still lots of players that play just about any 3 cards until it looks completely hopeless.

On my first run I lost $50 (a couple river beats, big pair that never improved, a couple ~40% draws that never came and a couple hands I shouldn't have played) but the next session I won that back, and the next session after that I finished up over $50. In the last session I had a guy completing every hand on 3rd and auto-betting 4rth. Once I had him figured out I tightened up and used my position to exploit him for at least $25. I got a kick out of him betting into my full house twice (I raised him both times) and then completing into my burried Kings. May such players always find my table then leave with a thinner bankroll and a smile (smile optional.)

Anyway I'll leave you with one of my last .5/1 hands. So far I'm 2 for 2 with this hand...
