Sweet Stud Hi-Lo hand
Here is a hand from a Stud Hi/Lo tourney I played on Stars today. I started the tourney terribly, losing to higher two-pairs twice when no lows/straights/flushes were on anyone's board. It was frustrating, but I realized that even though I was down, in limit tournies you can come back easily when the blinds start rising...
and comeback I did!

Love that hand, mhg. In general I love it when you are going low, and it is clear early on that everyone else is going high, and they are all willing to stay in for multiple bets to chase those high hands against your near-guaranteed winning low hand. Very rare to have three other hitchhikers like this, but you definitely took advantage well. Reasonably, with all the betting and calling, your Aces were probably not ahead for high until you made your 2 pairs on the river, but that's just part of stud. I couldn't count the number of pots I've won by hitting a "lucky" card to take half the pot on the river.
Nice work. Maybe I'll see you in one of these hilo tournaments one day soon.
