Re: I probably could have played almost every street differently
Presumably, you're raising third with a fairly wide range of hands. The other guy is probably assuming this, so he'll probably pop you with a lot of hands. I don't see any need to get tricky. I'd just three-bet. I'd also three-bet fifth street. Your hand is very strong, and even if he somehow happens to have a set, you can always suck out. Unless he raises me at some point, I'm betting sixth and the river. I do think that some folks take the mindless aggression thing too far in shorthanded stud, but I think that this is one hand where it's called for.
