Razz - Prax folds brick on 4th - film at 11!

[Praxising]

Shoulda reraised 3rd and called this time, right? I folded because there were three opponents. The 4 was gone. I just thought...."it's one of those hands you can lose huge on - just get out..." Those are all my preflame excuses. Actually, they are all my post flame excuses, too.

Yeah, raise third. As played, fourth is a fold. The pot's small and you're behind.

Can he peel 4th had he reraised 3rd and they all called?

[sk8ram]

If hero raises third the hand is likely to play out quite differently, but assuming they all still call, the pot would be bigger on 4th and a peel would be justified.

Raising third certainly allows the hand to play itself a lot more.

Anyway, as played I like the fold on 4th, as the pot is small, your opponents have caught good, and a fair few of your outs are gone.

You're not just behind, you've got your ass hanging out. If seat 8 has 8x or 9x in the hole, what do you think happens if you call?

Right. (Though in this specific game Seat 8 wouldn't raise if you tied him to a forklift.) But, yeah. Just too many players and bad position and bad cards out. Tho,' if I called the raise, then there'd be enough money in the pot to justify the call, right? Or maybe I'd have to reraise...yeah....that's the ticket!
