Default Re: Razz 8/16 - steal didn\'t work, how to proceed?

Oh, and given that you didn't fold 4th, I think I might fold 6th here. I find his check confusing also on 5th unless he made a 75 and was trying to avoid a check-raise. When you check it again on 6th I think he has to read that for "I can't beat a 7". This either means you have an 8 or 9 in the hole, or you paired and you have Q high. If you have Q high, he's ahead with a J or better, if you have an 8 or 9, he might now think his 7 or 8 is good, so he might be betting the best hand here.

The bad news is, that makes it a good spot for him to bluff. The pot is still reasonably small but you only have to fold a little more than 1 in 4 times to make a bluff profitable there.

Tough one.
