Default Chasing a low draw HU

How many ways did I play this hand wrong?

I'm guessing that I should have completed 3rd?

How about the rest of the streets?

I tend to play pretty passively, that is calling with a lot of good draws, and typically not raising until I've made a hand. I know this is way too predictable against skilled players, I'm working on it...


Tournament - 7 Card Stud High-Low (300/600), Ante 50, Bring-In 100 (converter)

Seat 1: 1,928
Hero: 4,472

3rd Street - (0.33 SB)

<font color="blue"> I call myself an idiot and fold... </font>

<font color="blue"> If I made at least two pair, I would have paid him off anyway...should I have called (only 278) since I'm already here? I think the bet was only 278...I can't any chance of me being ahead... </font>

Tough Hand.

I would definitely complete 3rd though.

I'd raise 4th.

On 5th, I'd take the free card (if available). But 5th is difficult to assess because you never played with any aggression on 3rd or 4th. You may not simply be chasing the low, you could possibly still scoop.

I agree with pipes. You need to use your chip lead to put pressure on him. Let him know early that he is playing for his entire stack.

Don't think I'd call on the end.
