Once villian check raises 5th street it was likely he has a flush.
We have a decent low but it is fragile, Seat 7 may also be drawing to a better low and he is not going anywhere, seat 8 is probably not going low
I think as long as the pot is 4 way I have an interest to build a bigger pot without knocking anyone out. Once the pot is 3 way I want to check/call
Thoughts ?
