Do we like this?

Particular questions - should I limp and then call 3rd - the villain who completed is quite loose?
Am I right to raise 4th?
Should I bet out 6th?
I would have checked the river without a second pair. Anyone disagree?

Hmm - I never know whether to play these, really. I guess I just make a decision based on who the other players are. In this case, I’d either fold or call. I don’t like raising here, especially since your door is duplicated. One good thing is that spades are live (you could make a “flush”).
I like the raise on 4th.
I like the bet on 6th.

[Bartholow]

In the relatively tightly structured party mid limits, I'd definitely fold 3rd. After that everything looks perfect.

My thinking is that the 1st call (bring-in, $2?) is marginally acceptable with only 2 players left to act (both with baby cards), your K & Q are higher than any other exposed cards and one of J's dead.

However, I would fold after the completed bet ($3 more) with 2 additional callers ahead of you.

[mscags]

I think I would complete on third. You have the highes door card and two overs in the hole. I complete this every time. I play the rest the same.

[mscags]

You guys don't like a completion here? He has a 3 straight plus two overs to the only other broadway, not to mention his cards are all live except that Jack. Is a completion to loose for the structure?

[Bartholow]

I would like completion more than a limp but there's no need to get creative in this structure.

[Jeffage]

I complete on third. Other than that, I like your play on every street. Completing on 3rd is good b/c you know he likely doesn't have a pair of jacks (he would have completed) so that leaves a buried smallish pair or 3-straight which you have housed. Either way, you're going to play and raising to get it heads up will prove beneficial here.
