So limping on third seems to be the move. The table was on the loose side, people liked to limp a lot but would muck trash they would have limped with to a completion. I don't know that that is an argument for raising or just limping.

Fourth street was my biggest question. I was unsure if the pot was big enough to take a card off, and apparently the answer is it is not here.

I think I would have check folded 6th if spades were more live, (i.e. I didn't kill 4 of them, not I had more spade outs). I fired hoping everyone would just go away, and I wasn't worried about the three spades on seat threes board until he raised. That was definitely an aw [censored] moment. I thought flush was definitely possible, but 5 spades were dead.

I definitely did not feel happy about paying off on the river.

Fortunately, as novice as I am at this game, the field seemed considerably worse, and I had a fun time (well, except for all the folding on third).
