7 Card Stud High ($1/$2), Ante $0.10, Bring-In $0.50

This table was full of lags, I know I made a few lose calls in here but I felt that I could win a huge pot if I hit, just wondering how you would play it, this is the biggest BB pot I have ever won so I wanted to brag a little.

Congrats. Multiway pot so queens up after 4th is pretty strong. I see no problem drawing to the boat on 5th and 6th. You knew your pay off would be big and it was.

Did the guy showing KK have a king in the hole?

I don't think you play it much different at all.

4th street worked out perfectly IMO, as you had a great "raise for information and value" spot there, making the guy with the kings call two cold. If he re-raised, you would probably take one off and bail on 5th UI, but he didn't.

5th street is a good check/call spot. If it was 2 to you, would you have called (I think it would have been a fold then, depending on where the bets/raises came from).

6th street I think the pot is big enough where you have to call the one bet, and when it was raised after you called, call that raise also. All your outs are live, so you have a great bunch of odds there.

7th worked out fabulous for your made hand.

Great result, from a fairly standard hand I think...

Drawing to the boat in the large pot was perfectly standard, especially with all your outs live. You were actually about 1 in 6 to hit a full house on the river there. The only play that's even questionable is the river cap, as if the player with the kings was really good, that reraise would probably mean kings full.

However, with the propensity of donks at 1/2, with one king and two aces dead, and with the player with the club flush calling the bet as well, I think it's definitely a good bet. At 1/2, I'd say your up against ace high spades a good 2/3 of the time, with fours full and even trip kings being possibilities as well.

Very nice hand.

thanks, these two players could probably cap the river with two pair, they were drunk or stupid.

I'm tired of you calling me names, m*ther f*cker!!!!!

Seriously though, well played. Maybe a little overaggressive on the river, but if you read the villians as donks, then I'd do the same.
