Default $20/$40 7-Stud high: Building a big pot, but should I slow down?

Something felt off here, maybe it's just that I don't play enough multiway pots. My hand always looks like it has decent equity, but does that mean I should just keep betting? I guess mainly I'm asking about 5th, though I could see benefits to trying to checkraise 4th as well.

3rd street completer is good, aggressive (this should not be read as super tight though). Others are slightly too loose.

7 Card Stud High ($20/$40), Ante $2, Bring-In $5 (hand converter)

You want a volume pot with this hand. Bet the piss out of it. 4th is good. 5th is good too b/c you're hand has improved and can take some heat (and even if you hadn't improved, I'd still likely bet).

You mean not re-raising on 3rd but rather waiting till 4th and then raise if you catch another heart? Because you can’t check-raise 4th, can you.

5th street is strange - what the hell was seat 7 calling with? Dead 3-flush huh? I would bet here too, though. If he’s going for the check-raise with trip deuces, so be it. You have a ton of outs.

Good point that I can't checkraise, which makes that bet a lot more obvious I suppose.

I'm salivating at the prospects on this one. I bet all day.

Beautiful catch on 4th for this one, I think 'autobetting' is the only way to go, tough break.

Hmm ... I just felt because of the board, the tone of your post (whatever that is on the "net") and the omission of your opponents action that you lost this hand. (to a flush?)

Maybe I'm wrong.

your hand keeps getting better and better, no reason not to keep on betting.
