Raising with a draw on fifth street...
7 handed $3/$6 stud. $0.50 ante, $1 bring-in.
I get dealt: (4c Jc) Ac 2s brings it in, Qh folds, Ah completes, Qs calls, 3d folds, I call, 6h calls, bring-in folds. Comments? I would often reraise if the raiser had a K or lower here. 4th street: XX Qs 5d (4c Jc) Ac 2c XX 6h Ts XX Ah 7s I bet and all 3 call. Comments? Should I check and raise the Ah? 5th Street XX Qs 5d Ks (4c Jc) Ac 2c 3h XX 6h Ts Th XX Ah 7s 9h The open Tens bet, both players call, I raise, all call. Comments? |

Re: Raising with a draw on fifth street...
So far so good. I wouldn't check-raise on fourth because you'd probably knock out T6, and I think you want people in. The fifth street raise is good. You almost certainly have more than 25% equity with your big draw, and you can take a free card on sixth if you don't improve.

Re: Raising with a draw on fifth street...
Given the liveness of your hand and the fact there's three others in, raising 5th is fine. You could also take a free card if it gets checked to you on 6th and you miss.

Re: Raising with a draw on fifth street...
Agree with everything said so far, so I'll add this from Othmer "Seven Card Stud Poker":
with 11 cards seens in other hands (exactly what you've seen to 5th street), and seeing no other clubs, your chances of making your flush are 44% or 1.3:1. Indeed, a great time for a raise, especially since (as already said by other posters) it gives you a chance to make your hand for free on the river card if you miss on 6th. |
