By this point I was almost certain I was way behind. However I felt I had to call down since he could possibly have just two low cards in the hole. Obviously a read would be nice, sadly I had none.

with no overcards on the T and no reads, I think I i would have to fold 5th. Sucking out on the river is always nice too.

Why didn't you cap it on third? Raising fourth seems like a bad idea.

[Andy B]

On third, Bremen could easily be a dog to the other two Aces depending on the other guy's kicker. If the other guy does have Aces, he can't be too big of a favorite. I don't think many at this level will three-bet with just a three-card low.

If the other guy does have Aces, then Bremen is definitely behind on fourth. The raise does let him know where he's at, though. When the other guy three-bets, he almost has to have Aces. When he pairs his Ten, Bremen should know that he's drawing incredibly slim and should therefore fold. Of course, if the Trey is coming, it's coming. Ni han. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
