interesting stud high hand

[MrNiceGuy 0]

How's it look? I wasn't sure where I stood on 4th, and I figured a raise wouldn't do much, so I decided to call and re-evaluate on 5th.Reads: Seat 6 is a donk who plays every hand and doesn't necessarily have anything to be betting that A on 4th.I don't know Seat 3 that well, but he is fairly aggressive (for example, earlier he bet into me and another opp. on 5th with a low 4-flush after I had completed 3rd and bet 4th).7 Card Stud High ($3/$6), Ante $0.50, Bring-In $1 (hand converter)3rd Street - (0.83 SB)Seat 1: xx xx 5:club: ___foldsSeat 2: xx xx 8:heart: ___callsSeat 3: xx xx Q:spade: ___callsHero: A:diamond: Q:heart: 4:club: ___brings-inSeat 6: xx xx K:spade: ___calls4th Street - (2.17 SB)Seat 2: xx xx 8:heart: T:spade: ___callsSeat 3: xx xx Q:spade: 6:diamond: ___callsHero: A:diamond: Q:heart: 4:club: Q:diamond: ___callsSeat 6: xx xx K:spade: A:heart: ___bets5th Street - (3.08 BB)Seat 2: xx xx 8:heart: T:spade: A:club: ___bets ___callsSeat 3: xx xx Q:spade: 6:diamond: T:club: ___calls ___callsHero: A:diamond: Q:heart: 4:club: Q:diamond: 7:spade: ___raisesSeat 6: xx xx K:spade: A:heart: 5:diamond: ___checks ___folds6th Street - (9.08 BB)Seat 2: xx xx 8:heart: T:spade: A:club: 5:spade: ___foldsSeat 3: xx xx Q:spade: 6:diamond: T:club: T:diamond: ___bets ___callsHero: A:diamond: Q:heart: 4:club: Q:diamond: 7:spade: 7:club: ___raisesRiver - (13.08 BB)Seat 3: xx xx Q:spade: 6:diamond: T:club: T:diamond: xx ___checks ___callsHero: A:diamond: Q:heart: 4:club: Q:diamond: 7:spade: 7:club: 2:diamond: ___betsTotal pot: (15.08 BB)

Now THAT looked like a weird hand.I am on the fence about 4th street, as one of your queens is out, AND one of your aces. If he does in fact have an ace in the hole, you are drawing thin to improve.Fifth street I am baffled on. What was your thinking about that raise, with the 4th street better still to act behind you?Sixth street - not sure what the tens is doing betting into you without trips.Looks to me like you got extremely lucky if you won this hand, OR are wondering where you went wrong if you lost it (the answer is fourth street). 8)

I agree that my 6th street raise is probably bad, since the tens have no business betting unless it's trips.But I think the 5th street raise is correct (I'm folding if either Ace 3-bets). I think I'm too strong to fold, and too vulnerable to call. But I'm not certain....On 4th, I'm not folding given my read on the bettor (that he may bet on 4th with nothing if he catches an A).

When did you play this hand... I think I was at the table... I might have been seat 3. Hmmm...Not positive.

I checked - I played this hand right around 2:00 on Friday afternoon (eastern).

I believe you played the correctly. If the A K bet again on fifth street, you would have to fold because you could be drawing to just two outs.Since he checked on fifth street, I really like your raise because you force the A K to play for two big bets.Sixth street you was pretty standard on your part. The other player probably made something like 10's and 5's, while you made an easy raise with queens up because the only way he beats you is if he started out with something QJ10.
