Default Re: Should I slow down on 5th street?

[ QUOTE ]
Thanks all. I realized that the best play on 5th is call, but was in denial while playing that street. Playing stud hi small buyin tourneys i have gotten used to players jamming against me with small one pair when i have aces, and other "imaginative" plays. The input was helpful.

Your play on 3rd, 4th, and 5th makes it pretty obvious you have trip kings, so when villain keeps raising you, what can he have?

At later stages of these studaments, everyone always steals with an ace showing and some people will play an ace door card strongly trying to bluff with nothing. Therefore, it is not always a bad play to play a pair strongly against an ace.
