Anyone bets 6th as well? Raise the river?

Re: stud8: checking low straight / flush draw. Hows my line?
 

I think you played it fine. Doesn't look like these highly inteligent players are going to give it up on sixth so I don't see any reason to bet. I would raise the river myself in case Seat 1 has a straight or something.

Re: stud8: checking low straight / flush draw. Hows my line?
 

i know if both players can't be bluffed on either of the final betting rounds, your bet on 6th has negative expectation. I wonder what percentage of the time they would both need to fold by 7th for this play to be profitable- any math wizzes in the house? Also what if you had an open ended straight, flush, and low draw, all very live? i think i'd bet there, if my opponents were not complete calling stations .. you?

Re: stud8: checking low straight / flush draw. Hows my line?
 

Good bet on 5th.These guys must be some big time calling stations,since they didn't bet.I would bet 6th for value,myself,although a check may be better.An A,2,5,8,or diamond help you & maybe you can lose both(unlikely) or 1 of thes guys still.I believe the river raise has value.They both obviously are weak players,capable of making bad decisions.Either one could call you with a weak high hand,hoping you are going low.
