Everyone getting sick of Stud yet?
This hand is about one hour into my session and I'm down about $40. I'm dealt rolled up sixes.
Dealt to seat1
Dealt to seat2
Dealt to seat3
Dealt to seat5
Dealt to Starstealer
Dealt to seat7
Dealt to seat8
seat8 brings in, and seat5 is the only caller to me. I just call and seat7 calls behind me.
On fourth, I pick up a king, but the others seem to brick out. I lead out and get two calls - the bring-in (who received a 9 on 4th) folds.
On fifth, I still don't improve, and seat five picks up my last six.

I lead out again and now seat7 comes in for a raise and seat5 folds. With seat7's impressive T93 showing - I have to figure he's bluffing (especially since he's known to do that frequently), so I reraise - he calls.
On sixth, I pick up another king to make my boat and he pairs his doorcard ten. I lead out and he calls. On the river I get a seven and lead off again - he raises, I reraise, he calls. He shows nines full and takes the pot.
Now, I realize there really isn't anything I can do here - because he caught his nine on the river. Would anyone have this differently?
