high-low stud question

[stevenbe]

You're in a multiway pot on fifth street. You have four to a low and a pair. Your low draw is decent, but would need 2 perfect runners for a straight. The obvious high hand bets into you. You've got 4 players behind you, all who look like they were going low, but bricked on fifth street. How to proceed? <font color="blue"> </font>

you would probably raise here. one to knock out or charge low draws, and to increase your chance of winning the high end. your chance of making two pair or trips is value in this spot.
