I think I'm at least seeing fifth here. No one has shown any strength for goodness sakes.

Not really.
Both diamonds and clubs are looking deadish. The same goes for their cards in general - I see three tens, two queens, two nines, and of course you know those other two aces don’t help them (they actually hurt them). Plus, fives and deuces are live.
I think you have quite a bit of equity here.

I take umbrage at that remark. Hate is a strong word. It was mean and hurt my feelings. I'm notifying the forum monitor about it, Beer. By the way, F*** you.

Dude, if ONE person has a big draw, I'm in trouble. Not heads up, but multiway, I will be donating. To be honest I didn't really notice the suits all that well, all I knew was that I was staring at 3 people who matched their door cards fairly well. I think the pot is small, and I can get away from a potentially costly situation.

I think in this game and structure, the $1 limp is so attractive that you see fourth street after limping only after catching really well. I'm not crazy about dead ass aces in a 19-way pot.

This "Big Punisher," is he a rap "artist" or something?

I would have bet here, and I don't really think it's close. I wouldn't put the guys who have all checked on big draws, and the guy who actually bet might not have much either. Yes, your Aces are dead, and that's not great, but Fives and Deuces are plenty live, and Aces-up should be enough to win enough of the time to stay with this one. If things go south on fifth, you can always cut bait then, but I think you gave up on this one way too soon.

I recommend making a wheel.

Andy, you've definitely heard of this song.

Given that I checked, I think the fold was wise.


Most 3/6 players don't play 4 flushes the way I do. In fact they don't play them the way I play 3 flushes.

Adam, I'm pretty sure I haven't heard the song in question. Rap music is pretty easy to avoid if you put your mind to it.

Even if you choose to check fourth, I think calling is best, especially since your call closes the action.

No one plays three-flushes like you.

Beer,
I ran some numbers. You make an absolute killing if no one has a 4 flush. We are talking 32% to win in a 5 way pot. So that is a very large over lay.
If someone has a 4 flush they reduce your equity to around 25%. But that is still a decent equity.

I'm afraid you've let 7CSFAP advice to avoid multiway pots affect you too much.
