First, just call third street. You don't want to knock anyone out by raising. Your hand plays very well against a field of opponents.

On fifth street you need to check/fold. Your strong starting hand hasn't improved and you gotta let it go. This happens alot, you got to be disciplined in stud to not chase when your waaaay behind like you are now. Sixth and seventh are played perfectly though [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

After checking through sixth, both opponents will fold more than eight percent of the time, I believe. You've built a huge pot with no hand, and now you only have one way left to dig yourself out. 5th is pretty awful.

[Andy B]

Get 7CS4AP. Third's a call. Fourth's a call. Check and fold fifth. I think sixth and seventh are fine. I don't know what seat 5 would raise fifth with that he won't call one bet with on the river.

I think betting seventh is -EV. If you were against one opponent I'd say bet, but two opponents...honestly a bet here is no bueno, but hey that's just my opinion.

I don't understand this (Yes I have read 7CS4AP although I'm sure I missed a lot). All our spades are live, it appears that the pot will be at LEAST 3-way and possibly more, so raising is probably positive equity just on third. Furthermore, chasing people out may allow us to win this bloated pot with 2 small pair. And as a bonus you may get some deception.

In summary, you either chase people out, which is good, or you bloat a multiway pot with a live draw, which is good.

you have a dead Ace (possibly two) and no overcard to the raiser. You want to see 4th cheaply and hope to improve by catching a spade. I can see peeling 4th if you miss given the pot size, assuming your cards are still relatively live.

Yeah there are 42 unknown cards, of which 10 are spades, 7 more give us a gutshot, 5 give us a pair, (and I suppose aces are close to dead). So more than half the deck improves us, by fifth there's a 50% chance we'll have a 4-flush and an additional 25% chance that we'll have improved in some other way (although most of that will require that we fold anyway).

There's roughly a 15% chance of having a 4-flush AND a pair, so it would be nice if we can give ourselves a shot to beat an unlucky opponent who is stuck with one pair. Or else if everybody stays in the pot we may have given ourselves odds to go farther with a gutshot and small pair.

[SeventhStreetAce]

Why raise third street here? three flushes are multi-way hands. It is best to keep as many people in as possible, early. You should lead out on fourth IF you make a spade and are still high, check-raise if you make a pair and 4-flush on fifth.

I dont understand you logic for staying in this hand. You wasted money here.
