3rd street- I raise here every time. A. It's a strong hand and even if you are beat and somebody does have A23 in the long run it's not gonna hurt too bad putting in an extra bet against that hand. B. Usually raising here against most people can really help you define their hand and maybe figure out if they paired at later parts in the hand. C. Especially at the lower limits like these I've noticed people open for a lot of poor hands here with a 9 or 10 in their hand or even two lows with a pair. So I like raising here to punish these people that open bad hands.

4th street- I would have bet out, but check raising seems fine. It's a little odd he didnt bet, but usually when I see this it means the guy paired his 6.

5th street- Really interesting street here because I usually call, but I decided to look at an odds calculator, and even if your up against A236J your still 51% in the hand. So I guess raising here would actually be the right play to give you a minor edge (plus the guy could have a pair or much worse than perfect hidden cards)

6th street- Normal

7th street- I don't know if you got the best hand, but I think you do plenty enough that when playing limit you have to put the raise in there. People call these raises with poor hands all the time plus you'll get any 8's that he has made and if he's got the 67 he'll call. I dont think it's very often he will have you beat and I still think he did pair the 6.

ya, I repop 3rd. Try to take the lead. See how he reacts.

Lead 4th. Save the check raises for the big streets when your board looks much worse than it really is.

5th - easy call. Interesting what king said about a raise though. I guess his Jack tips the equity slightly to you.

6th - yup.

7th - tough. First to act I will always b/c. Here it's very villan dependant. I think call or raise is so close - good for you for being aggro.
