On 5th street you have a big equity advantage with your made low and gutshot to high. You might also get rid of better low-draws.

I have one question however, why did you bet 6th street and then checked the river? Do you fear a raise by someone who hit something or do you try and induce a bluff from seat 3 or 5. You win nothing from betting if only seat 6 calls.

I bet 6th because I have a flushdraw and a great hand, my low just got a lot better too. I have a lot of scoop potential and I need to get value from and punish everyone still in the hand since i believe my equity is much more than 25% at the time.

On 7th I basically blanked and didn't want to get raised since its now entirely possible I'm going to wind up with none of this pot and there is no way I can fold without a showdown. I wasn't trying to induce a bluff, I was checking to see the cheapest showdown I could. I would have loved to see it check around.

I think you mostly played it fine, but I would have bet the river.
