50c/100c Razz : Crazy hand played well? 50c/100c Razz : Crazy hand played well?

I'm pretty sure I did ok overall except maybe 4th street where a check would have been safer but I wanted to keep the agression and maybe make a paired villain to fold and be at least 3-handed with my vulnerable draw.

Any comments is always appreciated. Feel free to ask me questions about my line.

4th is interesting, not sure what I would do. Would depend on the range of plays my opponents would make and the hands they would play.
Other than that, you played it fine.

Looks fine, although I think I'd take the freebie on fourth.

But isn't it worth it to bet and maybe make fold one of my 3 villains? My hand vs 3 players isn't very good and I'll probably fold on 5th the majority of the times...

I guess the rest is as you all said std.

I think "maybe" is the operative word here. I wouldn't expect A6 or 36 to fold, and 77 might not fold, either. I think there's an excellent chance that you don't have an edge here, and if you do, it's probably pretty small.

Yeah I think you're right. Check is definitely the best play.

There is so much money in the pot that your opponents would be incorrect to fold any reasonable three-card hands, much less those hands which are far ahead of you at the moment. You were offered a free card with a modest hand, and you should have taken it.

In some bigger games with clever opponents you can induce a check/raise from seat 8 and maybe get it heads-up as a small dog in a big pot, but that's asking a lot from games at this level.

When I first looked at this I thought it was a check - but then - I realized they had all checked to you. In almost any other situation I'd check here - but when this happens - no free cards - make 'em pay - I'd bet also.

To those saying that OP should bet 4th, are you considering how dead his draw is?

Of the 16 cards that can help him make a 7-low, 6 of them are gone already. And given Seat 1's behavior of jamming 3rd then checking 4th, I'd lay heavy odds he has a 6 in the hole, which would be another drawing card gone.

The 4-3-2 sure looks pretty, but it's still two cards away from being a monster, with only three cards to come, and a dead deck.

Take the free card on 4th.
