Default Re: Razz - wimping out?

You did get lots of bets out of him later. You got him to put in 3 bets on 6th as a 4:1 dog!! And then another bet on 7th with no chance.

I don't, in this case, mean "meek" as a psychological adjective. Just that, given the strength of your hand, you took a weak approach (no raise). Your actions there scream out as a 4-card 8 or 9, possibly even a pair, on 4th. I'd have probably gone to town in his spot on 6th also.

But, regardless of actual outcome, we raise on 4th and 5th because a LOT of the time this makes the hand easier to play. We just are not this lucky that often, to get a 6 on 5th.
