Default Re: How u like?

I like sixth and ambivalent about fifth.

On Fifth, I think you have the current "best" hand, up against a FD+pair and a smaller pair held by the tard. Raising Fifth is a standard play, but with all the bets put in already, you may not get a tard to fold, so a defensive call is okay, since you are probably "in front" anyway.

On sixth, you are still probably ahead of the FD, now probably behind the tard, so making him fold his little twoop by putting him in the middle facing two bets is good. I think it is the best play. A good player comfortable making thin calls might spoil your fun by calling, but you describe him as a tard, and I'd expect tards to fold Sixth more often than good players. I wouldn't expect a re-raise from the FD unless he also had two pair, which would be nice to know, pending the river.
