Default Re: 5/10 high.. 3rd street action

If you raise, I don't think anyone is folding, so the raise for that purpose is wasted.

Yeah, you weren’t get him to fold very often. But I do think he folds SOMETIMES; maybe 10% of the time or so. We’ve all seen people complete with junk like 78Ao and the like. If he’s got something like that, he’ll probably fold.
And those few times he folds, you really gain a lot.

You will be creating too large a pot when it is not clear that you have the best hand.

I considered this too. It’s true that the ace will often call or re-raise and then you’ll be stuck in huge pot and weren’t be able to fold (unless one of them pairs there door).
As I see it, though, against these two, aren’t be folding anyway. Even if the pot is smaller you’re not folding this.
That said, calling isn’t bad. I just think raising is a bit better.

You could also consider, after seeing the cards dealt on 4th, to raise if the ace bets and the ten calls. And that raise will be more for information than anything else. You have to at some point try to see where you stand in this hand, but raising on third, I don't think will give you information; a 4th street raise might.

So, suppose he 3-bets. What are you gonna do with that information? Fold?
Or suppose he just calls. Does that mean he can’t have aces?
