Why just call on 5th street? I see this as lost value on your hand by not raising.

[Bartholow]

It's hard to know what to say when your opponent so clearly overplays his hand.

That said, I would have reraised on 3rd, especially if I knew this guy was a moron. You may be slightly behind against him at that point, but you are probably enough ahead of the other guys that you like charging them to draw or forcing them to fold and leave dead money in the pot.

Everything else looks kinda obvious, raising 5th would be fine but I think you have to go ahead and believe he didn't pair and so is drawing at least as good as you, so calling is fine too.

You need one more raise on each odd-numbered street.

I think you need to raise again on third street. If you knock players out, great. If you get more money in when you have a largish edge, great. It's going to be one or the other, possibly a little of both. Get your money in there.

We weren't in this game and you were. It is apparent from opponent's sixth-street play that he has not thoroughly studied Sklansky on Poker, and he may have trouble dressing himself. If this was known to you on fifth street, I'd throw in a raise. In any case, by the river, you should have figured out that the other guy isn't playing with a full deck (har har), and I'd throw in the cap.

I knew this player had a decent starter. As much as he overplayed his hand he did not come in with gabage. I just called on 5th as I thought that he might actually be ahead here. I also did not cap the river because, I believed that he might have got there. Some of this is just me seeing monsters under the bed, because they have been there a lot lately. I did consider capping on third. This player had been playing good hands, but getting them stomped on a lot at this table by players calling with garbage and getting there. So he was most likely suffering from some degree of tilt. I had been catch awesome starting hands and had been playing about 40% of my hands, and they were all decent starters.

You are very good at game selection.

Based on villains play, I wasn't initially sure this was actually Razz. Thought it was maybe HORSE and he had the wrong game. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

[Andy B]

I actually thought that his raising with a Ten might point to a very strong three-card hand, so I'm OK with the call on fifth. You do need to re-raise third, though.

[Eulysses]

I think I would cap the river - you have the third nuts and two additional 5's and a 4 are dead.

[big e]

I would have raised on 3rd and raised on the river as there's only 2 fives left.
