A novice low-limit Stud/8 question

[timprov]

So I have the basics of the game down and have played enough shorthanded to have something of a handle on headsup play, but full ring in a loose game is still a little alien to me.

Suppose I have three-low with no real high draw against a group of players with high door cards. How many of them do there need to be for me to continue raising for value on third?

I'm not asking that the math be done for me, but figured someone here must have done it before and can just provide the results.

It depends.

You have 3 low cards and it seems there aren't many low cards dead. So at this point your chance of making an 8-low or better by the river is at least even.
