Big pot - $.50/$1 Stud High

[BBB]

Was having a down session (was playing a little too loose-aggressively) when this hand came up. Anybody play it different? Too aggressive early on, or on 6th?

Prima Poker, $.50/$1 7-card stud high, $.05 ante

<font color="red">I didn't think I was ahead, but I figured I had enough equity to pump the pot some more - Seat 6 was a solid player, when he didn't reraise I figured he had a big buried pair (that wasn't kings).</font>

Pot: $36.25

<font color="red">Not sure why I check-raised here - I guess since I was positive Seat 6 only had a high buried pair, nobody had a pair showing, and nobody was raising, I figured my two pair might be good at this point (and if not I had two outs to a boat).</font>

Final Pot: $46.25

<font color="red">Hit my two-outer and bet, when Seat 2 raised I was sure he had also hit a boat, but I figured chances were it was worse than mine.</font>

Results: Seat 2 had two pair on 4th and caught a 3 to fill up on the river. Seat 4 (a bad player) had started out with buried queens that never improved. Seat 8 had started with 64 of spades for a four-flush on 4th that never got there. My tens full is good for the 46+ BB pot!
