It wouldn't have killed you to slow down on 3rd and go for a raise on a later street.

[beta1607]

I was hoping the K or J would raise if they caught a 2nd pair so I could put in a 3rd bet. It also would have felt wierd to cap 3rd lead 4th and check raise 5th.

[Bill Murphy]

Well, if you "slow down" on 3rd it doesn't get capped /images/graemlins/wink.gif, but looking closely at how this hand played out(multi-way, dead 9, pretty big pot on 3rd already, poor position) I think getting cute just costs you money and gives a free card.

You were best all the way but vulnerable. Played perfectly, IMO. nh

But you give seat 6 a chance to make trip 5s, fill, and beat you /images/graemlins/cool.gif

Seriously though, I’d raise right away on 3rd. (But maybe that’s just because I’ve lost so many rolled up hands lately…)

Thanks for the flattering title. Limp reraising here actually kind of gives your hand away...I'd probably come out raising from the beinging...it is actually more deceptive an people are not going to give you respect because of your dead doorcard. The limp reraise is fine if the table is pretty tight, but from the look of the action is doesn't seem like that is the case. After that you played it just fine. Capping on 3rd in a multiway pot with a huge edge is 100% correct. Build a huge pot now and get people attached to their hands!

Regards,
Carlos
