I think it's worth a shot. I'm not sure why your opponents are limping and now checking all the way. You could be representing a legitimate made low as it's not unreasonable for you to not bet 4th since Seat 4 caught a suited baby. I think Seat 4 definitely has to bet 4th here even if he's going low and paired his 6s.

On 6th your opponents once again caught some pretty crappy cards. With the pot being so small, I think they'd have a hard time calling a big bet now. I'd be fairly surprised if your bet here didn't take down the pot.

[mscags]

Not me, I don't think these jokers are folding, not to mention you really don't have anything and the pot is super small. I just check it down and hope for the best.

[Nick_Foxx]

I don't bet here but I'm pretty unimaginative with these type of hands (i.e., crapola)... I like your move, you will probably get at least one of the players to fold, and the other will fold to a bet on the river most likely. Nice

[DeadMoneyOC]

This is bad. Your fighting for nothing in the pot and people at low limits will just assume you are pushing a low and will call with lone pairs that are bigger than yours.

My point exactly.

[benneh]

no, this pot isn't worth bluffing at.

when seat 4 checks don't you bet 4th st and fold to a raise? prepared to be done with it.

[/ QUOTE ]On 4th, there's a lot more cards left so they'll call with almost any kind of a hand or draw, whereas the calling requirements on 6th is going to be much much tighter if they are on a draw.

[Backstabr]

Against idiots I check. Against opponents who are a little bit reasonable, I think about betting 5th, though seat 1's hand scares me, and I definitely bet sixth and fire again on the river agaisnt a single remaining opponent.

Yes it's a small pot and your opponents may calls but this means your opponents may make incorrect calls with draws. If they call with hands they will fold unimproved on 7th, this makes a bet even more profitable.
