Which street could I have played better?

[mshalen]

Sorry - don't know how to use the converter. I am not a good stud/8 player. Any comments would be appreciated.

note that you're playing a high ante game.

On 5th, you want to cap it. There's no need to slowplay here, as you absolutely want the low draw to fold so you can scoop. Once you get a boat, you need to start jamming right away so long as the low draws havent hit.

Even if you can't use the converter, you should still make some effort to make your hand more readable.

Third is a little dubious but OK. Same with fourth. You definitely want to cap on fifth. You have much the best hand, and it would be great if you could get the low draws out so you can scoop this puppy. No reason to take your foot off the gas after that. Nice hand.
