On 4th I was concerned that I was either crushed by someone rolled up or seat 3 having a hand like A99A and me being screwed again. How weak tight is this? Also the other players in the hand are ultra lags no read on seat 3 though.

You're clearly representing aces and they are capping 4th. I do not like my chances. Even at the 0.5/1 tables, I'd hate it if I do call, and definetly letting go to two bets on fifth. Even if you aren't facing trips, you're likely looking at two pair or 3flush + 4 straight, and do not have much edge there either. I'd probably fold fourth and take notes on what these guys showdown.

[Andy B]

I see three possibilities:

1) You are crushed.

2) You are merely behind with a dead hand.

3) Your opponents are idiots.

It could be some combination thereof. I think it's best to lay this one down, and do note what is shown down.
