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 ?

Played fine imo.

On 5th you have a lock on the low with 3 players going high, so I would just jam. The downside isn't too terrible, while the potential upside is huge.

Yeah, I think you are right
