I think I'd've played it exactly the same way, esp. the re-raise on 3rd. Here's the twodimes on the hand headup:

And here's if you smoothcall and "entice" a call from the bringin's crappy low:

Looks to me like the extra bets you'd win don't come close to making up for the extra you lose but I could be wrong. Offhand, it looks like you lose 1/4 of your lows & 1/3 of your scoops but maybe I'm nonunderstanding what the stats mean.
[/ QUOTE ]I think you're missing one important point:
playing it heads up is -EV. Playing it 3way is +EV.
On fourth, if you brick heads up, you're so far behind you have to fold. If you hit well, it becomes slightly +EV.
If you brick multiway, you're behind and fold just as before. If you hit well and the donk hits well, you just landed youself in a very +EV situation. This is where the money is.
