Just called the raise here, I am sure he doesn't have a flush, but does he have an ace and a four or five?

Just called along as I am afraid seat 5 has me beat.

[bholdr]

fold to the raise on 4th- don't draw to the second-best low.

Agreed - and if not there then for sure when you brick on 5th.

[Andy B]

I think I play it about the same. If the bring-in does have a good low draw, he's played it kinda strange. He could well have a high hand or, if he's an idiot, a flush draw. You do have three to a wheel yourself. I don't think you can fold for one small bet on fourth when your call closes the action. Calling one bet on sixth is fine, but I'd recommend hitting a spade. On the river, I would call the cap and not like it.
