So, everybody in the hand is terrible, eh? :P

I don't understand why you popped fifth, if you think you're still ahead of the 2 spot, you can't much like that open pair of 6s, and seat 1s 2 overs. If you're certain that #2 is fos, then it makes more sense to just get the money in on 4th, and maybe get the pot hu.

I assume you're raising the river because you think you can fold a probable 2 pair from 7, but if all you know about him is that he's terrible, I can't imagine that the parlay of folding 1,7, and being ahead of 2, works often enough to justify the move.

Now, I'll check out the results.

edit: ah, h/l, raising 4th makes more sense now, raising 5th seems spewy for the already stated reasons. River raise is OK, but transparent, and you're almost always playing for half the pot.

Third is a pretty easy fold, I think. On fourth, you're looking at a couple of pretty scary boards. I would check with the intention of folding. On fifth, I honestly don't know what to do, because I don't play hands like this. I don't see a raise knocking anyone out, but who knows. I like sixth. On the river, maybe your raise knocked out a better high hand, maybe they were folding anyway. This seems like a pretty tenacious bunch, so I think that the raise is just spewing.

Why? I have the best high hand, and the two players who have already entered the pot don't even necessarily have anything playable.
