I'm not sure if 5/10 qualifies as mid/high-limit, but my apologies if it doesn't. I recently took a stab at the Party 5/10, and lost more than half my bankroll, so clearly I have some holes to plug. I'm not sure if this hand qualifies as bad luck or careless play (probably both), but it's pretty representative of what I was running into. My opponent seemed loose, but not especially aggressive. Otherwise I have no outstanding reads.

It seems like 5-10 is addressed in small stakes and 15-30 and above is in this forum.

As for your play, pre-flop and flop are good. Getting raised on the turn by MP1 really really blows. Do you use poker tracker? It can help in cases like these. If your opponents aggression numbers are really low you can sometimes throw this away safely because you can be confident you are drawing dead more than 1 out of 7 times. Against an unknown a turn raise by someone whose been calling the whole time means you are drawing dead more often than not, but you are less likely to be able to comfortably conclude that you're dead more than 1 out of 7 times.

I can't fold this on Party. There are opponents I would fold against live, but not online. I play every street the same.

I don't know why you're (esspo) saying he can fold if he's drawing dead more than 1 in 7 times. Hero is getting odds to call down, not laying them. He needs to be drawing dead a lot more than 1 in 7 times to fold.
