Default .5/1 7stud HI hand from pokerstars- couple questions

Hey all,

I was just wondering if i played this hand right. Im pretty sure the Villian had a pair of Aces when he started to reraise me on 4th so decided to cap it with my two pair and basically went all the way with it. After I have given this hand a lot of thought it was kind of stupid for me to cap when he had a lot more potential to win than i did. I understand this is low limits but i was just wondering if you guys could figure out what I should have done. Thanks a bunch!

PS: sorry if this doesnt fit the format i dont have the convertor program. Thanks

With the betting, you are screaming KKK and he is saying I dont care, so in a sane game I would think he had to have AAA to start. As we see that is not the case and you were ahead on 4th. I don't think I would be capping though given his action. (I wouldnt be capping if I were him and saw his hand, but that is a different story). Probably just check calling it down is better. and praying to fill of course.

There's a link to the converter in the FAQ and in every converted hand that's posted.

When you three-bet with your open Kings, you are representing, at a minimum, Kings-up. When the other guy persists in raising you, he's saying he has that beaten, possibly crushed. I'd slow down after he four-bets.

You might want to keep more money in front of you. Then again, maybe not.

i like to just call from 5th down if he slows down ill go ahead and make a bet. With your 2 pair, even against aces, hes gonna pair or set up a good % of the time, so id just let him do the betting. The hands getting bet for you, and your risking the minimum to show the hand down. Besides, your only a slight favorite(i think, not great with the math in stud.)
