Re: Razz - terrible call on 5th...or is it?
[ QUOTE ]
I think its a bad call on 5th street as he has to catch one but most likely two perfect cards to win depending on if he thinks the ace paired seat #1.
Absolutely horrible call on 6th. That being said I wouldn't put myself in that spot and maybe a call is correct. If you are gonna chase you might as well go down in a ball of fire.
I'm interested to hear other thoughts.

Part of knowing what to do is being able to put your opponent on a hand, and see if that read holds up over all streets. With a FTP HH you can't assume the first two cards in the showdown line were the player's hole card b/c they are shuffled, and given seat 1's play on 3rd and 4th sts it's more likely that he started with a pair of 4's than a 643 (unless he is known to be a very trappy player). It doesn't make seat 8's hand any better on 5th (or 6th) but it may give him the correct odds to call depending on pot size.
Scott: Think of it this way, if aliens abducted you and made you call on 5th, then released you again, would you call on 6th?
