When I catch a brick on fourth Street and my opponent pairs his door card, should I be willing to cap the betting? Who is in the best situation?

Cheers!,

You are more than likely ahead once you hit the Jack, actually. If he's raising you with two pair showing, I'd love to sit at his table all day.

Your question is about fourth street, but you don't show it. I think you mean fifth. On fifth he's a favorite if he has a 6-low draw or better, since you have a 7-low draw.

But on sixth it changes. Your opponent has two open pair and you have a made Jennifer Lopez. He can't have a made hand yet: at best, if your opponent has (3-4) in the hole, he has 432A, which is the best possible drawing hand. But with only one card to come, you're a favorite:

Kc Jc 7d Ah 3h 2h 795 50.96 756 48.46 9 0.58 0.512

But there's no reason to think your dummy opponent has exactly (3-4) in the hole, which means you're probably a solid favorite. Cap it up.

You are still the dog probably on 5th just because he looks like he has a nice 6-high draw. On 6th I'm capping here every time if he keeps raising me.
