I bet fourth... i mean... are you representing aces, or what?

checking cause you bricked just GIVES away your hand, and BEGS a aggressive opponent to take the pot away on fifth with what may be an even worse hand than yours... also if you HAD bet, and fifth had come down the way it did, you could bet and he would have to fold, no? even if he villian sees through it, he can't really raise with a draw to an 8 low, eh? if he has a lower pair, well, then... he'll fold, or see one more card and then ditch. a bet does so much here, and it's still cheap.

i fire again on fourth...
