I am sure that the hands I am going to post from time to time will probably be super standard. I am sorry in advance if they are. Trying to learn :-)

Since the villain paired his door card is the bet on 5th spew? I am not going to let go of the hand just because he raises me on 5th. (not in this hand)


no real read on the guy, loose/weak same as 90% of the plays at these limits.

I guess my only real question is do I go ahead and fire (b/c) 5th. The more I think about this the more I am sure it is a b/c. I am being a little result oriented here (I will get over it with just a little more in game time).

Anyhow, I suck so suggestions on all streets are very welcome.

To get a free card for what exactly?

I would bet 7th. Kings up> tens up, IMO.

forget I said anything about a free card, my brain was going 900 miles an hour when I wrote up this hand.

Let me ask you this.
since he raised 5th repping trips...
If I check 6th and he bets do I lead out on 7th? (my first thought is to get to showdown as cheap as possible with his continued aggression.)

Since he checked behind on 6th I thought I should bet 7th just wasn't sure. thanks!

Once he checks behind on 6th I'm pretty sure you're ahead. Bet 7th for sure.

I would bet seventh. Not sure if fifth is really a spew tho, it would help if you knew something about him. If he leads sixth after raising fifth, you do not bet seventh.
