Perverse hand

[electrical]

Here's one that will be debatable on every street. I'm going to post it without comment first, then let you guys chew it over for a while before I tell you what I was thinking on every decision point.

This is maybe the weirdest hand of Stud I've played in a year, and was heavily influenced by the table dynamics and player reads, which I think you all are smart enough to incorporate into your evaluation of it. I'm not offering that as an excuse, just explaining why some of the action may look odd at first glance. I am deadly curious what others think of this weird hand.

In the last hour, very few hands have been multi-way at this table, but players have paradoxically shown a marked disinclination to fold on Third or Fourth once they have entered a pot. Everybody (save seat 6) seems to be choosing a hand on Third and not bailing until Fifth. In practice this means that anybody in the hand on Third has some legitimate starting hand and he wants to see another card or two come hell or high water.

Reads:

Seat 1 is an easily tilted regular with poor drawing standards. Often plays one-way draws heads-up in small pots, calls down with losing two-pair hands, etc.

Seat 2 is a reasonable player I have played with a lot. She plays good hands relative to the structure, doesn't bluff her board much and usually thinks I have nothing, so she often calls me down light. That said, she probably doesn't think I'm insane, and is unwilling to get into confrontations multiway without a monster.

Seat 4 is a losing player with poor hand selection, and doesn't seem to track cards or read opponents' hands well, calling raises from behind, then calling additional bets, only to fold the river or complain and call expecting to lose.

Seat 6 is a chaotic, loose, bad player who is stuck more than 30 BB and is tilting badly. Though he took this hand off, I am in the game because he is. Part of the table's general tenacity early in the hands may be because of the huge overlay seat 6 provides when he plays.

Hero is probably seen as being tight (at the moment) and (overly) aggressive. I have played very few pots, and save for one checked river I lost, have only shown down winners, which I have aggressively value bet (including dry Aces against seat 6).

The hand:

7 Card Stud High ($8/$16), Ante $1.50, Bring-In $2 (converter)
