Seat 6 brings-in, Seat 7 folds, Seat 8 calls, Hero calls, every one else folds.

I was pretty happy with this hand until I saw that two of my Jacks were dead. Maybe I should have completed, but I thought I’d see how it looked on 4th.

4th Street (2.8 SB) – 3 players.

Seat 8---bets---calls
Hero-----raises
Seat6----folds

Seat 6 looked like he was going low, so I raised to push him out and go HU with what I thought was another high.

5th Street (3.4 BB) – 2 players.

Hmm, Seat 8 bets into me after I raised 4th.

I think I should have raised here.

Any comments appreciated.

Raise third anyway. You want to thin the field as much as possible. I'm inclined to raise fifth and/or sixth as well. That said, when he bets into you on fifth street, he may be saying that the Ten hit him. If that's the case, then you're behind on fifth and in deep doo-doo on sixth. He probably thinks you have Jacks, though, so I think a raise on one or more streets is in order.

Thanks Andy, I appreciate the input.

With the Jacks out I figured I should raise on 3rd, but didn’t.

With his door bigger than mine I figured him for Queens and really think I should have at least raised on 6th.

I posted this mostly for 3rd street advice/confirmation, but also thought the rest was too passive.
