Total pot: (23.58 BB)

Should I have check/called 6th, flat called river?

[bigredlemon]

Seat 7 had (Td 6d)
Seat 3 had (Ad 6s)
When should I have bee able to see that and slowed down?

[Andy B]

I'm not crazy about the raise on fourth street. Your high shot isn't that good, and you may not have the best low draw.

I would probably bet sixth too, but checking is probably better. The 7 seat should have a made low, and there is an excellent chance that his redraw is to a better hand than the one you're drawing to. No guarantee that your Aces are good, either.

The river raise was poor, in my opinion. You don't have a particularly strong hand in either direction, and you can quite easily be shut out of this pot. I would check and hope that I only had to call one bet.

Wait more than 14 minutes before posting results.

excellent analysis as always Andy. After reading your thoughts, it makes me wonder why the obvious choice wasn't so plainly visible when I was playing the hand. Can I use you as a lifeline next time I overdo the LAG thing? /images/graemlins/frown.gif

[Andy B]

Well, sure, but I don't think you can win enough in a $3/6 game to cover my fee. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

ceratinly not with the way i've been playing /images/graemlins/blush.gif
