I fold, I suppose DUMB has either a flush or a straight and therefore DUMBER hit a full house as he raises. I did play this correctly, didn't I? Will post the result of this hand later.

I'd check 5th and fold 6th.

Everything looks good up to your 5th street bet. That may be questionable, but minus player reads somewhat ok, I guess. Your fold was obviously correct.

I agree on checking 5th.

The "problem" with this hand was that DUMB had absolutely nothing, DUMBER won the pot with JJ 99 (re-raise with that!? against a possible straight flush!? into a raised pot by K as a holecard!?)... So, calling the 6th and hitting a pair on the river and the pot had been mine. Anyways -couldn't play like that.

You should probably check fifth. The action on sixth doesn't make any sense, but doing anything other than folding would be bad.

I love DUMBER's raise. His cost is going to be 2BB anyway, why not take it here. A call here is stupid. A great example of "fold or raise".

Checking fifth here is a very bad habit that many stud players get into. Hopefully you can avoid it. When you have the betting lead, first position, and no draw on fifth street, 99.9% of the time you should either bet or check-fold.
