I don\'t think I liked how I played this
 

thoughts? especially on sixth street... I raised because I figured I either had villain beat for high or low and wanted to knock out the extra player because the pot was big. I also figured I may get a free showdown on the river from it. I really don't know if I like my play at all, I'm undecided... thoughts? on all streets, but especially sixth

Re: I don\'t think I liked how I played this
 

I may have dumped on 4th.

Definitely not raising with an 8 low on 6th.

Re: I don\'t think I liked how I played this
 

my thought was that I had villain beat either for the high or the low... and a good redraw to beat him at whichever one he had over me. in my eyes he either had one pair or a low. but not both. if he didn't have a pair he had low. if he had low, my fives were good.

I therefore wanted the third guy out since the pot was big. I still had a great draw to a low if he had a made low a235(8) and i figured if I made two pair or hit a four or a five there was a good chance I could beat him for the high.

Re: I don\'t think I liked how I played this
 

On sixth, the bettor could have a wheel or a low with a flush, so it's not like your pair of Fives has to be good. Even if he doesn't have a big hand like that, it is fairly likely that he has a better low hand than you, and that his high shot is better than your low shot. The raise on sixth was a bad idea. The rest of the hand is fine.
