Looks standard to me... Raise on 6th is great.

Agreed.

What I really like about the raise and what makes it so great (aside from squeezing out value from a worse A's up) is the fact that, if by raising, you stand a decent chance to fold off the last guy, and esp. if he was on a low draw...then you stand to profit even more because you put yourself in a spot to scoop, which, will be more + for you than the 1 or 2 bets you might gain when he does overcall on 6th.

Well played IMO!

I figured it was pretty standard, but just wanted to make sure I wasn't overvaluing my hand strength.

The reason I ask is because seat 4 ended up having wired kings with a diamond and made his flush on 7th. I'm pretty sure there's no way I can put him on a better two pair there given the action, and especially after he doesn't 3 bet 6th with what I would think is essentially the nuts in that spot.

I figured his most likely holding was a low draw + 4 flush which I'm a 60/40 favorite against, but I just wanted to make sure I wasn't making a mistake by dismissing a better 2 pair.
