$20/$40 7-Stud high: Building a big pot, but should I slow down?
 

Something felt off here, maybe it's just that I don't play enough multiway pots. My hand always looks like it has decent equity, but does that mean I should just keep betting? I guess mainly I'm asking about 5th, though I could see benefits to trying to checkraise 4th as well.

3rd street completer is good, aggressive (this should not be read as super tight though). Others are slightly too loose.

You want a volume pot with this hand. Bet the piss out of it. 4th is good. 5th is good too b/c you're hand has improved and can take some heat (and even if you hadn't improved, I'd still likely bet).

You mean not re-raising on 3rd but rather waiting till 4th and then raise if you catch another heart? Because you can’t check-raise 4th, can you.

5th street is strange - what the hell was seat 7 calling with? Dead 3-flush huh? I would bet here too, though. If he’s going for the check-raise with trip deuces, so be it. You have a ton of outs.

Re: $20/$40 7-Stud high: Building a big pot, but should I slow down?
 

Good point that I can't checkraise, which makes that bet a lot more obvious I suppose.

Re: $20/$40 7-Stud high: Building a big pot, but should I slow down?
 

Looks good to me.

Re: $20/$40 7-Stud high: Building a big pot, but should I slow down?
 

I'm salivating at the prospects on this one. I bet all day.

Re: $20/$40 7-Stud high: Building a big pot, but should I slow down?
 

Beautiful catch on 4th for this one, I think 'autobetting' is the only way to go, tough break.

Re: $20/$40 7-Stud high: Building a big pot, but should I slow down?
 

Tough break? I haven't even posted the results...

Hmm ... I just felt because of the board, the tone of your post (whatever that is on the "net") and the omission of your opponents action that you lost this hand. (to a flush?)

Maybe I'm wrong.

Re: $20/$40 7-Stud high: Building a big pot, but should I slow down?
 

your hand keeps getting better and better, no reason not to keep on betting.
