3rd: not crazy about the completion 2nd to act, but with the dead cards and the big ante, folding isnt right in a tight game. but if more than one opponent calls or raises, i'd be really ready to release on 4th.

The three later streets taken together dont make a lot of sense to me. I like the raise on 5th to take control of the hand with your board, but if you bet on 6th against his open pair and dont think he has kings up, why would you check after he checks on the river? I'd bet the river and fold to any raise. If you're planning to check the river after improving to two pair, then you probably should have checked behind on 6th to get a free card. while you're telling him you dont have a straight, you'll most likely get a free showdown anyway.

I love a completion here when the game is tight, it gives you a more "reckless" image and you will get more action on your big hands, but if it's a loose game a fold is more correct.

Since you raised fifth you are tied down to betting sixth since you have to represent a straight. It's unfortunate that his board paired because he's calling down here with two pair. With your read, I am kinda lost on what to do on seventh. He's calling a bet regardless, so I think a check is fine. If you win, you've put in enough action, but I think you lose this hand more times than you win.

He's almost never folding 6th I imagine. I would probably just check behind, even with the straight outs and trip outs, we are crushed if he actually has Ks up or a big pocket pair:

has villain been raising a completion with junk, or just completing with a high card showing? If he's on a 4 flush, we are a bit ahead 58/42, but even if he has a low two pair like 44K to start, we are behind 54/46....basically as we are only ahead against a flush draw or just the bare 7s I like a check on 6th. Given that he reraised your completion then called the raise on 5th you have to give him credit for something right?

...so, you knew that he'd likely raise your completion on third? i suppose that's good if you're trying to get it HU (possible in this case, considering the other door cards) planning to check/call the agg playerto showdown if you develop anything reasonable?

...but even that's a marginal play. I'd fold third: (94)9o is basicly a crappy hand, esp you're second to act.

you played 5th-7th well, imo.

results? which site is this?

3rd I would definitely complete, but I would then fold to a raise from the K or the T.

This line might feel exploitable but you are calling the raise with an overcard kicker, a straight flush kicker, a draw, or a higher concealed pair to the raiser, so I'm not sure it is.

As played I think you should bet 6th, even though there are many tempting reasons to check behind. Basically in the worst case it really won't cost you that much and it may just get a fold if he only started with a three straight, or make you an extra bet when you improve on the river.
