I put him on a steal

[djr]

I figured he was trying to steal (I've got one of his aces so less likely he has aces anyway). I think the 3rd street raise and 4th street bet are mandatory. What about 5th? Do I keep pushing? Of course 6th and 7th were easy to play /images/graemlins/grin.gif

It sure does look like a steal. I like the raise and I think you have to continue it on 4th. Once he bets again 5th I am certainly concerned and would consider a fold. What could he have here to bet? If he caught a jack on 4th you would think he would check raise. Maybe 4 diamonds? Luckily the dealer was on your side for the nice hand.

If the Four is coming, who cares what you put him on?

Sure looks like a steal, and you can't have people pimping your bring-in like that. I like the raise, but there's nothing wrong with just calling.

I think the only other street that's open to debate is fifth. You're getting about 2:1 on your money to call down, and I think that, on average, you're going to be a smaller dog than that, so I like calling down.

I like hitting even better. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

I think you played it very well. 3rd is great. 4th is fine. on 5th I either think he's a moron or has 4 diamonds. But I don't think you can fold at this point. And once you hit you of course didn't have any other course.
