Through sheer luck and manic lunacy, I managed to scoop the pot. I know I overplayed 3rd without a doubt, but was wondering how -EV it was. What about my play on fourth? It set me up to steal the high on fifth but i could have easily missed.

It seems like every hand I post here is about how I went bezerk and managed to scoop the pot. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

3rd is bad. 4th is bad. I think you really lucked out they folded fifth. with the 73 reraising you and the two high cards calling, i think it was a real coup that they folded fifth (even with you catching a straight flush card).

5th is good
6th is good
7th is good

nice pot /images/graemlins/smile.gif
