Ordinarily, 6th street would be a fold, and in fact I was ready to give up on 4th street. It’s a small pot, and with two opponents showing low boards and one showing an Ace, there’s just no value in my going to showdown with a pair of Jacks and no shot at low. But the guy showing the Ace didn’t bet it, which he would definitely want to do with a pair (and which any good player would do even without the pair as a semi-bluff).
By 6th street, he was showing A234, which was very scary for me. The pot was still relatively small, and I really couldn’t hope for more than half with four babies showing. If my opponent had an A or a 5 in the hole, I was screwed. But I had already determined the A was unlikely, and I feel like even with a 5 in the hole he would have had such a strong draw earlier than in the hand that he wouldn’t have played it so passively.
