Stud8 - (AA)4 , did I put in the appropriate amount of action here?
 
A huge problem with my play is that I am bad at putting in aggression with hands that aren't super-strong. Here is a hand against an aggressive opponent, and I wonder if I found the right mix of action here. I have a couple of notes on the opponent, although I doubt they are very helpful:
limps A door in LP with aces
didn't vbet 76 low + AA against high board

7 Card Stud High-Low ($10/$20), Ante $1,50, Bring-In $3 (converter)

Straight
Made low + pair
Two pair
26 down

It balances your raises with better made lows and straights.

yea i guess not. i just think that it's highly unlikely he has a straight, so he prob wouldn't reraise us and we cud check behind on riv if we dont improve but bet if we do.

[/ QUOTE ]Actually, due to the action on 4th street a straight draw is very improbable for us. In fact, any low is pretty improbable since we then had to hammer 4th with 3 low cards and a T against a likely pair (with or without a 3-low) or a 4-low.

4th locks us pretty hard to exactly big pairs or better. There's no way we have 52 in the hole.

So thinking about it I hate raising 4th, ever with these boards, and don't like raising 6th if we do raise 4th. Especially as he showed an ace it's very hard to imagine us feeling too comfortable with anything but AA and TTT or rolled to start with. I don't think KK in the hole sees that as a prime raising spot very often.

Had we called on 4th I would've been fine raising 6th. As is, we've limited the upper strength of our hand far too much and can't credibly threaten any low very much.

misread the action...but am I bad if I want to call 4th with the intention of possibly folding if I catch a crappy high card/he catches well on fifth?

his 4th st check is tilting me

I would just call the raise on fourth. Opponent is probably one card away from free-rolling on you. Similarly, I'd just call on fifth. Everything else looks fine.

You should really just call the raise on 4th. You are giving up a lot of deception value if you will only do this with buried aces or trips on 4th. Against a razz hand you only have 57% equity, and you are turning your hand face up with the extra action. I would wait until 5th to raise if he catches bad.

[/ QUOTE ]I think it's even possible he should check back in the first place with 100% of his range due to the difference in board strength.

I have a question about the completion on 3rd. Why not just call and invite the Q or T to maybe limp in or raise and take a shot at a second best hand? Also I guess one of my leaks is that I discount the possibility of the bring in having a hand.

[/ QUOTE ]I don't limp any hand here. But if you do, you should definitely limp (AA)4 as well.

In hero's spot, I raise third with a lot of hands. I figure that if I raise with crap often enough, I ought to raise when I actually have a hand as well.
