Dealt to pokey1976 [3h]

Okay I have a very good opening hand a 3 card 6. However the down side is this. There are 21 cards to make my 6 low. 4 are already dead to me. My hand value is decreased more so than if say more 6's 2's and 5's were already out. 3 bad cards are out though. I decide since I have position I'm probably going to raise regardless to drive out junk hands, stragglers and to ensure that I am up against 8's or better.

trvlnmn72 is high with [Qc]
trvlnmn72 brings in for $0.25
SIRHUMPSALOT calls $0.25
pokey1976 folds
dealinqueens calls $0.25
Kris Homerding folds
SignGuy folds
jwosoto completes it to $1
Bender2006 raises to $2(There's my raise. Making sure that one I let it be known I mean business, and two so no bad hand can call me)trvlnmn72 folds
SIRHUMPSALOT calls $1.75
dealinqueens calls $1.75
jwosoto calls $1 (4 way pot, however I believe I have the best of it)*** 4TH STREET ***
Dealt to dealinqueens [Ad] [2s]
Dealt to jwosoto [4d] [3c]
Dealt to Bender2006 [6h 2d 5d] [3d]
Dealt to SIRHUMPSALOT [6c] [Kh]

Okay I've caught a 4 card 6. It is likely from this point on I'm going to see all seven cards. There will be some people value betting but I am going to elect to jam the pot. I want to thin the field enough to increase my odds

dealinqueens bets $1

jwosoto raises to $2

Bender2006 raises to $3(I'm taking this thing to war. A win here will mean a huge pot)
SIRHUMPSALOT folds(At least one player folds. How you can call that hand when you are clearly behind is suicide 3 way dance)

dealinqueens calls $2

jwosoto calls $1

*** 5TH STREET ***
Dealt to dealinqueens [Ad 2s] [8h]
Dealt to jwosoto [4d 3c] [5c]
Dealt to Bender2006 [6h 2d 5d 3d] [7h] (A mixed blessing card. I now have a made hand. I for sure am a favorite over queens and jwosoto I suspect is on a draw. I imagine a 4 card wheel or 6 might put in the final bet. I feel at this point I have the best hand. I will continue to raise it up.)
jwosoto bets $2
Bender2006 raises to $4(I still fire, I mean business)dealinqueens calls $4
jwosoto calls $2
*** 6TH STREET ***
Dealt to dealinqueens [Ad 2s 8h] [Kc]
Dealt to jwosoto [4d 3c 5c] [7s]
Dealt to Bender2006 [6h 2d 5d 3d 7h] [4s](Jackpot, Now I know I have the best hand. I believe that jwo was on some kind of smooth draw. I have made the 6 low and I'm not going to fold this hand, even if I get reraised later on. I will just fire away)
jwosoto checks(The 4 now scares jwosoto. Remember he was betting before. He is clearly on the defensive now. I do not believe jwosoto has a wheel or a better hand than me)Bender2006 bets $2
dealinqueens folds(Has undergone a lot of pressure and knows he is up against a lot. Has to fold under the pressure)jwosoto calls $2
*** 7TH STREET ***
Dealt to Bender2006 [6h 2d 5d 3d 7h 4s] [3s] (Meaningless card)
jwosoto checks
Bender2006 bets $2 (One last bet, if I get reraised I'm likely beat but will put in the $2 for the crying call. Unless jwosoto caught one on the end I have this pot won.)jwosoto calls $2
