Default 1/2 stud/8 a marginal hand against a weak-tight player...

7 Card Stud High-Low ($1/$2), Ante $0.25, Bring-In $0.5 (hand converter)

kind of a strange hand, both in the way it came down, and the way i played the later streets- i wasn't paying as much attention as i normally do, as i was playing three tables of 1/2 6 max holdem as well (bonus time). Seat 4 is a solid player (as solid as they come at 1/2 anyway), seat 8 is weak-tight:

I almost always try to pick up a four flush with hands like this one at 1/2...

O.K, now i have the best (looking) low... I bet again, thinking that if i can get seat 8 out, i have excellent potential for a scoop.

Well, now my diamonds are getting kind of dead. i have him on a busted low... maybe a pair of aces. i am pretty confidant that i can get a free card. normally i continue to bet here... i don't really know why i didn't.

I was getting ready to check-fold, but there was something about the way he bet (really fast)... This is a play that i NEVER try, but this guy had been playing really weak-tight, and something in the back of my mind told me to raise him. it worked, but i think it was probably a bad play. thoughts?
