Default How many bets to go, or WA/WB? and a small TR

My family took a trip to the mountains and stayed in a condo about 40 minutes from Blackhawk. Brother in law and I decide to take a spur of the moment drive over the pass to play some live pokah. (Sorry east slope bros, no time to plan) We valet parked at the Gilpin and went there to play. There was one table going and we found out it is a "2/5 spread limit" game which basiclly turns into a 5/5 game with one 2 dollar blind. ($5 max bet in CO for those curious) OK, it took me a few orbits to catch on to the spread concept but I eventually did. We are playing along and the table is kind of mixed with a few bad players and a few decent players when ole bennyhana picks up this hand:

I'm in the BB with K 5o. UTG raises to 5, (which he has done for the last 8 hands or so and shown down some awful losing hands) I think there were 6 cold callers and I'm thinking sheesh, don't get odds like this very often, maybe I'll flop a gutshot.

LOL FLOP A 2 4 rainbow.

I check, doofus bets 5, all call so me too.

TURN is a 8 or something bricky like that and doofus fires again, but this time the guy next to him raises(he's somewhat decent) 2 cold callers and I'm like, sure why not. So does doofus.

RIVER the beautiful 3 of no flush. I say, "I'll bet, the pots big enough, might as well win it now." doofus folds [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] decent guy thinks real hard and I'm nearly LOLing and he decides to call with AJ.

That's about it from the Gilpin. It turned out to be pretty lame and more tourney oriented. Bro in law is short stacked after a dealer error that she kind of blew off so I say let's roll.

We then headed over to the AmeriStar. I compared the two poker rooms like playing at Circus Circus in the morning, then the Bellagio that night. For Blackhawk, it was a real classy place. So anyway, I'm down about $80 from the gilpin, even after winning that big pot with the gutterball. This place had like 15 tables going, so I knew there had to be more fish. There are 2 open seats and I pick the one just to the right of a drunk guy and some chick. As it turns out, they both suck ass and it gets to the point where drunk guy starts to limp, then asks if I'm gonna raise before he does, then limps anyway and I raise anyway. Then he check folds. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] So I'm playing pretty good and building my stack ok when I get this hand. (finally a point to this post):

I'm in the CO with A To

limp/folder who seemed pretty decent but only cause he folds, limps.

silver haired harley looking dude who has been watching me isolate and seemed to be paying attention limps.

Chick Limps

Drunk folds

I Raise to $5.

BB and the other 3 all call.

FLOP A 4 T rainbow

2 checks and harley dude donks, 1 fold and I raise, 2 folds and harley dude and I are HU. Harley 3-bets, I 4-bet, Harley 5-bets, I 6-bet, Harley 7-bets I....

I've got twice the chips he does and neither of us are very close to the felt. Obv, no cap HU.

WA/WB or take it to the felt?
