[Sevenfold]

3rd was fine, I like aggressive lines against a possible steal, but it's a matter of style. Folding is fine as well. Many will auto-call any three cards after you pop it on 3rd, so you must lead 4th.

Now he leads 5th, and this is the dilemma you face when you play along these lines, and I've been here.

He didn't lead when he dropped the ace, so I think we've kept him 'honest'. Suddenly he makes a 5, and he wants to lead. Hmmmm.

I tend to think he's made one of two possible hands. Either he hit the 5, and he's leading against your dueces (what he's most likely thinking). Or he made a straight draw, 4567, 5678, or the like with the ace.

In either case we are in bad shape. We are up against an unknown hand with zero, which unless we make an ace or king giving us our first pair, cannot make anything to get paid off on.

We have no hand with bad reverse implied odds.

We tried to steal. We got caught. You don't gain anything by smacking the police officer. Just go quietly.

Fold 5th.
