Re: Unimproved Buried A\'s.
I think you overplayed your hand here. The bring in almost certainly does not think you're stealing, as you suggest, because of your early postion. If he is a competent player, his reraise strongly suggests kings, queens or the other two aces in the hole. I think he'd be less likely to reraise his only caller if rolled. If he is an overly loose aggressive type, I'd say split deuces with an ace or king is also possible. Many bad players do play this way. The point is, in stud you often wind up in situations where just calling is the right play. I think your raise on fifth is okay as you are probably winning, but once he calls I'd check sixth and seventh if unimproved. I just can't be that confident about what my opponent has to bet these streets, and once he calls my raise on fifth, I doubt he's folding.
What happened?
