Fourth and fifth and sixth seem like clear folds.

4th is a 1,000% clear fold. Why would you continue when you can't beat the aces on board plus there is the chance that he has 3 of them or aces up? your 3 card flush draw do not make a call justified. You may have won the hand ann the battle, but you lost the war.

<u>NEVER</u>. There are very few absolutes in poker, so when you stumble across one, it's best to commit it to memory: NEVER call on fourth street with one pair that is lower than the pair your opponent has showing.

First person to contrive a scenario where it might be correct to do so gets a contract taken out on their life.

Against very loose players at low limits, there are times I'd call with a lower pair. For example...

Full 2-4 game with .25 ante, .50 bring in.

I have (9A)9 and bad, loose opponent has (xx)J. 5 people limp.

(pot = $4.50)

Fourth street:

(9A)9J (or 9A)9K/Q) -- with three suited

(xx)JJ bets $4 I'd at least take one off.

btw, this is not to imply that in the posted hand a fold was not in order on fourth. It was. The only good thing about this hand is the value bet when the poster sucks out on river.

I would definitely see fifth in this scenario.
