Stud8 - Day 3, Hand 6

[Aaron W.]

Is 4th a good raise?

I'm very confused by the re-raise on 4th. Do I back down or keep firing?

I think 3rd might be a raise, but limping in allowed you to raise 4th and get it heads up. After it's heads up, you need to get in another bet somewhere. Either fifth or sixth for sure. But congrats on probably scooping this one.

I think the goal with aces is to get heads up with a worse high hand or someone chasing a low.

Raising on 3rd may tie people to the pot a little bit. It may also encourage them to automatically check to me on 4th. I think limping after a couple limpers gives me the best prospects for playing out the rest of the hand effectively.

He's representing AAJ or a rolled up, what else could he have? KKJ and QQJ, then you're doin just fine, if he really got AAJ and JJJ you're not in such a bad shape because of the low draws, so I'd say cap it on 4th and then call him down, because there's quite a chance he's bluffin or steamin. The bet on the river is good I think. Not sure about 3rd I think it's a raise but a call is OK.

I def raise third since you have a very good and well hidden hand. I would reraise fourth, he could be raising with just Jacks, Jacks up, or maybe rolled up jacks. Rest of the hand looks good to me.
