I would not call this hand on third, especially after the completion. There is a live ace in front of you, and also your hand does not hold the benefit of disguise. If you hit another 5, much of your action will die. Given that you called, I would also fold fourth. If you insist on playing it, consider raising to try and force the ace out. Is seat 8 capable of raising with a three flush? If so, I am not wild about your chances.

[Roland]

Ugh. Fold 3rd.

Playing these hands for a full bet is usually wrong in this structure anyway. Playing them with two over cards not only to your pair but also to your kicker behind you is suicide.

4th is a fold, too. They caught scary and you caught a very dead card.

[PoorLawyer]

fold this quick and don't even think about it. it has been raised and there are two overcards left to act. The only card that can make you happy on 4th is one of the two remaining 5s, otherwise you will mose likely fold 4th anyway. No sense throwing in the full bet here. If you can limp in cheap I would go ahead, but i would be wary without the completion because of the overcards after you...this would come down to their play at the table. I fyou think there is a good chance one of the two will complete, even as a steal, it is probably not worth getting tangled here.

Fold on third street. He is raising into big cards and you won't get much action if you make trips. Your only hope to get some money in is spiking a queen. It's muck time.
