20/40 hand, Too loose of 5th?

[BeerMoney]

I saw a turbofish, villain in this hand, playing at a 2 handed 20/40 table. I called on 5th thinking my ace gives me extra outs. Miserable call? Go back to the kiddie pool? I'm the turbofish?

On fifth, it looks like you need to hit runner runner to win. You have a lot of draws, but you have hit perfectly two streets in a row. It doesn't look like you have the pot odds to call but i could be wrong on that.

[Bartholow]

Yeah, I'd fold fifth.

[lstream]

Perhaps I am a little too tight, but I think I would fold on 4'th. Really don't like chasing straights past 4'th unless it is a four straight. The three flush pushes this a little closer to the edge for me, but I would also fold fifth for sure. Hopefully, seat 8 didn't hit a miracle flush himself, but it does not appear likely since he didn't re-raise you on the river.

[BeerMoney]

HEPFAP player's recommends chasing 60% of the time. I figure since its a raised pot, my opponents Q is slightly dead, I have a 3 flush, and 3 str8, I think it makes 4th a pretty easy call.

Fifth was probably miserable, and is indicative of why I am not making more $$$.

[Michael Emery]

Third and fourth were clear calls, fifth a clear fold. But you knew that.

Nice catch. I'll have to read the section of HEPFAP where it tells you how to play stud.

[SittingBull]

While Oppo. seems to have either 2 big Prs or a higher Str8 draw,Beer needs runner-runner for a flush--his only reasonable out. Second-tier play becomes very expensive in this spot. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
Anyway,congrats for taking it down,Beer. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I might be to tight too because I would definately not take this hand past fourth. Why try to draw out on a fish? I dont feel there is any reason to. You know that if you just make simple moves with decent to strong hands you will beat them. I fold fourth!!!

[LittleLTluc]

Please explain the call on fourth. I do not understand [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] That might be why the highest Stud i play is 5/10.
