DISCUSSION: When this player catches the small card and double-checks, you can be pretty
sure he has some other small card in the hole. That small card did not have relevance until now.
Why? Probably because he had a pair of kings to begin with and some secondary card that was
not worth remembering. Catching the eight made him check to see if he caught two pair. If both
his face-up cards were suited, a motive for a double-check could be to see if he has one more of
that suit in the hole.
BEST STRATEGY: Figure that there's a better than average chance that this opponent has a
pair of kings and a fair chance he has kings-up. There is almost no chance he has either three
kings or three eights. And it's very unlikely that he has a high kicker to go with a pair of kings.
Keep these factors in mind, consider your own hand and play accordingly.
Photo 19:
It's seven stud. The man at center is betting on third street.
His face-up card is a king. His opponent holds a jack.
Photo 20:
Now we advance to fourth street. The player at center
catches an eight to go with his king, and now he double
checks his cards.
