Total pot: (9.10 BB)

[benneh]

you're getting called by at least seat 4, who could have 2 pair or a better low with 1 higher pair than sixes.

check it. if this was heads up i might, but people tend to be callign stations on 7th street, especially at 1/2, and you're not going to accomplish much. save that extra bet for another spot.

Fold. Both players have better lows and you have a bad high.

[djr]

check it. You may get a free showdown. I seriously doubt betting will get anyone to fold.

I think you've played it well to this point, but do make a note not to try to bluff either of these guys in the future. I'm assuming that they're drawing to worse lows than you. The guy who bought a Jack on fourth street probably should have folded then, and the other guy probably should have folded on fifth. Take note of what these guys show down.

We have a few options here:

1) Give up. That seems to be what the panel is suggesting thus far.

2) Check, hope the next guy checks, and hope that our scraggly pair of Sixes beats two other players. This seems like too much to hope for.

3) Bet and hope that someone folds a better high hand.

Now I can easily see you betting, having a low hand call you, and the third man fold a pair of Eights or some such. I just don't think that this is going to happen the necessary twenty-somthing percent of the time to make bluffing profitable (remember that you are playing for half the pot; if no one has a low, you have almost no hope of winning). I hate being a quitter, but I think you have to check and hope.
