Well, by him completing on the 3rd he is saying he has a good hand.

He pairs on the 4th while your hand improves. Your bet is met with a re-raise.

On the 5th he gets a 9 but since your snag a 10 he does not seem too worried and keeps on raising.

On the 6th he gets a 3. Now right here i bet ya he just paired his 3's! He has one in the hole. He is now sitting on a for sure 9 high and it could get worse, bad thing for you, your Q, had you completed your 8high you would have won for sure and could raise and re-raise.

7th your stuck with a 10 high. he has a 9 high, maybe worse. I bet you won the pot cause he got a anther pair or another brick on the 7th.

So what happened? His betting was suspicious a little bit, like just trying to represent strength when no strength was pressent. If you won he thinks your a donk! hahaha, but in essence since you called you have some type of read on him, like he goes in and bluffs a bit maybe.

What are you actually trying to say? It comes across as the somewhat obvious play by play of his hand.

As far as how it played, the only thing I would've done differently is cap 4th and 5th street. On 4th you're a slight favorite, probably about 55/45 and on 5th you're more than a 65/35 fav.

Any respect for his game is lost on his 4th and 5th street play. His raise on 4th is senseless. With your ace showing it's obvious that you didn't miss a major out and for his play t be correct, you'd have had to have paired your 8, which is less likely as well, seeing as 1 was already dead.

His raise on 5th is just stupid. He's raising four to a 9 against your likely four to an 8. Here he needs to either hit twice to your once. Or you need to brick both 6th and 7th and him hit once. Either way, you are an obvious favorite.

I like your play on 6th, given it's a tourney situation. Because he's seemingly caught up a bit(on his board), I think a cautious approach is correct when playing a marginal favorite. If it were cash, I'm probably raising 6th as well. By this point he's likely slowing down if he paired his 3. With replaceable chips it's a much easier play to make.

*I have seen some Razz Tourney players say fold on 3rd in this situation! It's a much different style of play that I don't care as much for because it's low in action. The arguement is made on whether to work on small pots only, picking up the antes and bring in, confrontations w/shortstacks only, etc., as opposed to getting into big pot battles, starting on 3rd, with at most a slight favorite hand.

Opps, this is what I was trying to say, sorry:
"I bet you won the pot cause he got a anther pair or another brick on the 7th"

Yes capping on the 4th would be OK but with the guy raising with AA showing you have to assume he has (23)AA, technically rob is in the lead but not by much and no way of knowing what the draws will be like (they ended up terrible).

The 5th when the guy gets a 9 is when you would start putting real pressure on him and cap.

The 3 you assume he pairs, but with the Q showing you would now have to stay in maybe but limit the amount of chips put at risk because there are too many unknowns, if the guy did not pair his 3's then your in real trouble.

Overall played as well as could be and i bet he (rob) won.

And I agree, dont fold on the 3rd. No way no how, gotta see to the 5th with that starting hand, By the 5th you can see the guy has little or no chance of actually having the wheel. On the 6th you see that the guy has a remote chance to draw the wheel (if he did not pair his 3)

I may raise 3rd street here depending on the opponent, other then that, cap 5th and nice hand.

You should have reraised when he was showing aa9 and u had a8t. He was at best drawing to a 9 and u were drawing to an 8. You simply didn't hit anything and you had to call on 7th. Not to be a know it all... but everything written above seems to be a bunch of fluff. I didn't read everything but one thing that stuck in my mind was " He raised on 4th showing he had a good hand." Whatever that means. You had him beat on mostly every street. There was nothing you could do, you just didn't hit. The only move you made wrong there was not reraising on 5th.

Only thing I might have done differently is raise on 3rd. But I'd just call with shorter stacks/bigger blinds.

Other than that, played it fine IMO, just got unlucky by bricking on 5th/6th/7th.
