Re: Perverse hand
Third, I think I still raise. With three hearts gone and a Five gone, it's hard to know what seat 1 is on. You seem to think that since this guy called $2, in early position no less, he will probably call for $14 more. I would hold some hope that we could maybe fold him out. You're probably not going to fold out seat 4 unless the other Ace comes over the top. I think that calling and hoping to knock someone out later is a fine game-plan, but I probably still just raise.
On fourth, I like a bet. I assume that you're hoping to get a raise in to knock someone out on fifth. This is fine, too, but if you bet now, it'll be a bigger pot if you win. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
I'm not crazy about the raise on fifth street. I doubt that one pair is currently winning. I also doubt that anyone is folding. It's somewhat surprising that the one guy called two cold and folded for one more bet when his call closed the action. Also, your hand is somewhat dead. I'd call and hope.
Definitely bet sixth and seventh. Nice hand.
