What's your general plan here?

My default is to play big hands fast multi-way, but this seems likely to result here in knocking out seat 5 and putting seat 1 into call-down mode. Would it be preferable to wait for a big-street raise?

I jam quickly. If you flat, only 2 SB are going in on 4th and you have to worry about the 7 hitting a flush or straight draw. If you raise then at least 2 SB are going in (and often more) and you may kick out the 7, which is also a good thing. I see no reason not to raise now.

Are you talking about on 3rd or on 4th?

On 3rd I see no reason to raise the 2nd time around. when someone does a LLR it is usually going to be aces so you are drawing if you continue on and you can't be too worried about seat 5 with 4 dead diamonds and other connecting cards out. The Ace is going to take the lead likely on further streets so you will be in position for a knock out raise if you pair up.

On 4th, bingo! I'd wait for a big bet street to raise as you are way ahead now unless you hit the unlikely AAA and then all you can say is OH WELL...the same amount of money goes in as raising on 4th if seat 5 folds except it is either harder for seat 5 to call against a 2 BB raise or he catches a second pair or something to tie him on which is even better.

i prefer the slowplay 1 street here to keep the 73 in

but you do risk catching a A, K, J, Q, T or 9 which might kill your action when you put a raise in on 5th - and the ace may not improve at all and check if you catch good. i'd take the risk coz they prob aint folding aces lol

i think keeping the 73 in is great. you want him to catch a good card on 5th so you can get the bets out of him as well. yes if he catches good you win less often but in the long run you win more money.
