I'm wondering if I played this a little too slow/scared. Would you have done anything differently? I had a good read on what he had by 5th street, and 6th street confirmed what I thought it was.

Here I put seat 6 on either 9s or spades, and so raising is the right play. When seat 2 reraises, I put him on big pocket pair (or possibly trips...but not likely since most players like to wait till 5th to jam with their trips). Seat 6 calls the raise, so he's very likely on a draw for a flush.

You hit a suited connector and you checked. Bad, bad move. You need to bet it, so that hopefully seat 1 will raise it so that seat 6 will either fold or announce his hand (since a call of 2 bets on 3rd AND 2 bets on 4th can only mean a flush draw unless the guy is an idiot).

Notice how a leading bet on 4th would have made you catching a 4 that much more scary for your opponents. Anyway, the same logic as 4th applies here - you MUST bet it out. You said in your post that at this point you had a good read on what "he" had. Why?

So its obviously trip Ks against trip As here. Reraising is obvious.

standard. However, would you have had the discipline to fold had seat 6 reraised?
