Hero calls, but folds fifth unimproved.

Call me lag, but I kinda like a raise on 4th here. Could clear some people out which wouldn't be bad since you have a pair also now. Plus the 75 could just have a draw (though he wouldn't be far behind in this case). Problem is if you fold the king, you will act first on 5th so you likely can't take a free card. Ok, all things considered I kinda like Simon's line better than mine so a call might be better. I could go either way though, depends on my opponent and how game is playing somewhat.

I also like a raise, provided your opponents are not seeing 5th with any 4 cards.

[Michael Emery]

If you want to play you have to raise here. If you raise you will be continuing past fifth street often if it remains heads-up and your opponent cathces nothing scary on fifth. This is a high ante structured game and it will be correct to do so. If you want to fold than thats totally fine. Either way you choose is essentially fine.

agreed on the fourth street play, raise or fold, but what about third?? i would raise here on third with these antes not really minding if i get called by multiple players.

Your hearts are still live, and your overcard that will give you a strong two pair is also live, and your opponent is either betting a very dead diamond draw, a str8 draw, or a pair of 7s. At these stakes, I'd put him on a diamond draw with that bet into your jack. So, I call here on the cheap and then reevaluate on the next round

That would be incredibly gay, and is precisely the reason why I was able to dominate you in the games on party.
