Here\'s the rest of the hand. Other than not 3-betting 5th, did I make any other mistakes?

5th Street: (5.725BB, 3 players)
Hero: (2 K) 9 9 3
Seat 4: ( xx xx ) J T 8
Seat 7: ( xx xx ) T 4 A

Hero bets, Seat 4 raises, Seat 7 folds, Hero calls.

6th Street: (9.725BB, 2 players)
Hero: (2 K) 9 9 3 T
Seat 4: ( xx xx ) J T 8 A

Hero checks, Seat 4 bets, Hero calls.

7th Street: (11.725BB, 2 players)
Hero: (2 K) 9 9 3 T (2)
Seat 4: ( xx xx ) J T 8 A ( xx )

Hero bets...

I know I have a weak two pair, but I thought bet/folding would be better than check/calling. If I check, villain is unlikely to bet any hands worse than mine.

I really think his hand is polarized to very strong hands (he waited until 5th to raise after raising multiple people on 3rd) and occasional missed draws. Lots of crying calls go on in Stud but the combo of me not seeing him have a 1pr hand here very often + your 2pr being as weak as it is make it a decision between check/fold and check/call, IMO. I\'d probably check-fold here.

I\'m still trying to figure out which hands are playable on 3rd after another player enters the pot.

With all your spades, Kings and even 9s live, complete third street, as played, you can re-raise the completion closing the action for value.

I should have check/called here instead, right?

Nope, you did fine, represent and put a lot of pressure on the other hands. The only one you have to fear looks like JTs hand but a lot of his str8 outs are dead and a T was killed on 3rd, the others you have crushed.

Hero bets????

Even though I bet on 4th street, I\'m not so sure I should bet here when I pick up a 4-flush. If I had check/called 4th, should I check/fold 5th if I don\'t catch well?

Bet-3-bet for pure value. One spade is dead, your 9s and Ks are live, jam it. If you bricked, it really depends on what your opponents catch, here, you should check as the JT somewhat improved with the 8 and the other player did catch an Ace.

Being so live and having open 9s, w/the 4-flush, 3-bet 5th. Think of this as a ton-of-outs/flop jam in hold\'em.

As played the river bet is a weak, no one ever folds, just check and fold.

Full Tilt $1/$2 $.20 ante Stud High

3rd Street: (1.2SB, 6 players)
Seat 2: ( xx xx ) Q
Hero: (2 K) 9
Seat 4: ( xx xx ) J
Seat 5: ( xx xx ) 6
Seat 7: ( xx xx ) T
Seat 8: ( xx xx ) A

Seat 5 brings it in for $0.25, Seat 7 calls, Seat 8 folds, Seat 2 calls, Hero calls, Seat 4 completes, only Seat 2 folds.

I\'ve played less than two hundred hands of stud, and my only references have been Chip Reese\'s section in SS1 and Joe Tall\'s video. Is this street ok? I\'m still trying to figure out which hands are playable on 3rd after another player enters the pot.

4th Street: (5.45SB, 4 players)
Hero: (2 K) 9 9
Seat 4: ( xx xx ) J T
Seat 5: ( xx xx ) 6 3
Seat 7: ( xx xx ) T 4

Hero bets $2, Seat 4 calls, Seat 5 folds, Seat 7 calls.

I should have check/called here instead, right?
