Default Staying aggressive with aces + low draw

I think I overplayed this hand. My read on seat 5 was that he succumbed to short-stack syndrome and was raising up two pair at best rather than rolled-up tens. But, seat 4 probably has me beat for high at that point, or else has four to a flush--- slow down or jam?

I didn't slow down until 5th, but at that point I may have the best low draw so maybe I should have kept jamming...

Default Re: Staying aggressive with aces + low draw

if you think aces up have a good chance of winning high, then i'd jam it every street.

You think wrong. In fact you should have capped fifth.

Default Re: Staying aggressive with aces + low draw

With an Ace gone, I would go ahead and complete it on third, but when that Ace raises, I think I just call and see what happens. I'm not looking for a huge multi-way pot with a dead hand. Capping isn't terrible by any means, though. I don't see any particular reason to take your foot off the gas on fifth. Nice hand.
