How the **** are they putting money in when you have that board

edit: Nevermind. Just saw that it was a freeroll. But jesus..

please put hands like this in General Poker Forum.

this is for strategy.

**************************8

Sorry about that.
If a forum mod can move it that would be great.
Didnt mean to break the rules.

Maybe we can look at this as poor raise strategy by the other players.

don't sweat it,

I don't play stud; but did wonder if you should be raising earlier?
For value.

but maybe in stud your hand is not that strong until you actuall make the flush

Kowboy Koop ?

I didn't raise cuz I wanted the others to think I was still looking for the flush.

actually, I meant before you made the flush.
If they would call your raises, is it good to get more money in against so many others willing to pump it with you? Like on 4th street.

but maybe you figure it's geting capped anyway.

I suck at stud.
