I think I butchered this one stud8.

[dibbs]

Seat 4 will throttle decent to roughish lows with reckless abandon, I'm pretty sure he would have raised a really smooth 3 card low on third as he was pushing them pretty hard, his raise on 4th confused me, maybe something like 567?

He has obviously made his low on 5th, continue on with AA and depleted low outs?

I hate 6th because I'm gutless in giving up on big pots. It was quite obvious after the raise it was gonna be jammed too, here is obviously the place to let it go, right?

Grow testicles. Jam third. Jam fourth. Jam fifth.

[greenage]

I would complete third some of the time.

On 4th, I think you definitely want to 3-bet. Deuces and four's are live, and if you can hit one of them, Seat 4 is going to be in a world of hurt.

I think you have enough equity to 3-bet 5th but I'm going to try a sim in a second here.

6th is ugly because you may be hopelessly behind for high. Looks like Seat 8 hit his straight and Seat 4 may have tripped up.

On Fifth: (I hope the cards I gave Seat 4 and Seat 8 are reasonable).

I might play a little more aggresive on the earlier streets. Depends on how I am running. I would have a really hard time folding 6th here. I think everyone is going to respond that you should see the river, but I am not so sure. The pot isnt really that big and it seems like you are certainly playing for half of it. Twodimes.net in the answer. Im too lazy though.

I would play faster on 3rd, 4th, and 5th though. It sure doesnt look like that clown in seat 8 is going anywhere but if you could somehow knock him out that would be very good.

Edit: just looked at the other posts. Read greenages post. I think we can find a fold when its two bets to us on 6th. I dont like it, but I think its correct because the pot is pretty small. tough spot though. good post

Edit 2: WHOA, im still drunk from last night. Pot isnt nearly as small as I thought i was. On second thought this is very close. I dont like the way the action ensued where yo uhave to call two cold, and I dont like that there are a lot of dead cards but I think you might need to call here.
Its very close an dI really have no clue. GL in finding your answer!

[dibbs]

Sounds good, thanks for the thoughts gents.

[Andy B]

I make it a full bet on third about every time. I would absolutely three-bet on fourth. I would at least consider three-betting on fifth. On sixth, I think the pot is big enough for you to tough it out. If you had played it more aggressively, it would definitely be too big for you to fold. What happened on the river?
