I would lean towards three-betting on third, but I'm fine with calling the raise. I like the raise on fourth. Fifth gets a little ugly. You should be behind, and you might be crushed. 3QQ has been representing a strong high hand. If it was rolled Treys or pocket Aces, you're in deep doo-doo. If it was another big pocket pair, you're drawing live. On balance, I think you have a call.

By sixth, you're running out of hands you can draw out on. Pocket Kings now has you drawing dead. If he's really awful and might have been jamming like this with pocket Jacks or worse, you might try to buy a second pair, but you're probably toast. I think you have to fold if your opponent is remotely sane.

Having gotten to the river, it doesn't make much sense to fold the hand you were drawing to for one more bet. Hopefully, I have this read wrong.

I'd probably get rid of it on 5th. I feel you're way behind Seat 1 and drawing pretty thin. He's sure playing it like a rolled up hand or AA. On 5th he bets into a guy who caught a 3rd spade after himself pairing up, and the spades called. So you have to worry about a flush or a straight from Seat 3, or him drawing to it, and you've got one pair.

At least the bettor is on your left and you're closing the action. While you can conceivably get to a showdown for 2 more bets, I think it's pretty optimistic that Aces up will be good even the times you make it.

I think everybody here would play three baby diamonds this way. It seems odd to assume Seat 1 wouldn't.

[xxeximusxx]

I'm kind of nit but i think this hand could be thrown away at fifth. Seat one is showing real strenght, and he probably has a burried diamonds, AA, or is rolled up. Your pair of aces are no way a favorite over any of those AND seat 3 chasing another flush.

[SweetLuckyMe]

No, you can't fold the river. It's at least worth a call, and maybe even a raise depending on seat 1's tendencies.
