20/40: Semi-bluffing and then calling down

[frappeboy]

I play everything the same except for 5th street. I love the free card play and all, but this really shouldn't be attempted when your opponent has a pair of kings showing. Its too likely that he'll 3 bet 5th street or just call and bet 6th street. I know you raise with 3 flushes and all but if I was him I'd probably call and just bet into you on 6th as long as you don't hit a spade.

I grant you I haven't played $20/40 on Party (yet), but I just don't people doing either very often. This free-card play is powerful precisely because it works almost every time. The only reason it didn't work this time is that the other guy got hit between the eyes.

I do not see him 3-betting 5th street here. Period. What is he going to do, call down if I cap it? It's just too risky.

However, him just calling the 5th street raise and then betting out 6th street is a concern.
