I don't have any profound reads, Seat 1 seemed aggressive, Seat 5 more passive.

My first instinct was to raise to push out the 3rd player.

What would you do and why?

raise to push out the 3rd player.

Yep it's a raise. It'll seem a bit crazy because of the paired 4th but you happen to know he doesn't have trips. Your hand looks like a 4-low and there is so much good deception here. Sometimes he'll have 2 pair and you'll be sad (but you do still have a good chance to catch a low) but most of the time you'll be able to play this hand pretty much perfectly.

Anyone folding here? It seems like when villain reraises on 3rd he either has a pair or some good low draw with ace. Obviously if he has two pair we're far behind but even if he has Ax44 we're not doing great.
