The guy with the Q and the 9 enjoys calling very much. Old dude is an old dude who does old dude things but isnt so old that he will check the 3rd nuts.

I bring it in with a J and a 6, 9, and old dude with a 5 just call. Duces and 5s are dead.

4th

Me: (A2)J8
A (xx)6K
B (xx) 9Q
Old Dude (xx) 5J

Old Dude bets, I raise, fold fold, old dude 3 bets, I call

5th

Me: (A2)J8A
Old Dude (xx) 5J8

I bet, old dude calls

6th

Me: (A2)J8A2
Old Dude (xx) 5J88

I bet, old dude calls

River

Me: (A2)J8A2(10)
Old Dude (xx) 5J88

I bet.

Meh? Horrible?

SIWAS is a bluff raise on 7th darling. the theory is that opponents who may be likely to lead bad on 7th will in turn be likely to fold bad, usually in spots like-

hero a234kq(q)
villain xx38tj(x)

where villain bets 6th and insta fires 7th, and youre thinking " hes probably still betting the tj"

as for the hand you may as well bet 7th if you decide not to give up earlier. hand has basically no sd value.

Bet on fifth was pretty bad, making the pot so big you can usually only win it by making the best hand. Miuch better to check, especially if villain has seen you c/r anybody. If you get a free look and the boards break in your favor on Six you can take the pot there. If not, you saved some money with your bullsh*t hand.

Fourth is perfection.

After five cards you can't expect an old guy to fold a hand drawing live and you generate no additional fold equity than the boards themselves will grant you for later in the hand. Wasted bet.
