Misplayed?

[arcticfox]

Presume I should have folded on 3rd. On 5th I was sure seat 4 didn't have a low or he would have bet out on 4th. Somehow I managed to scoop this but feel I played it less than optimally, any comments?

Total pot: (28.20 BB)

Thje only thing i don't like about this hand is the raise with two pait, gutshot, and low draw on sixth, though all of your opponents boards are pretty weak, so i guess it's marginal at worst. of course once you hit the boat it's time to go nuts, but i would have assumed that your low two pair was no good on sixth.

some may say to fold third here, but im loose low limit games you get a lot of value by limpng in and caching perfect with arginal hands like that- because there are often four or five players going all the way, the implied odds are huge.

nh.

[arcticfox]

Both opponents had straights so your assessment is correct, I think 6th is the street which felt the most wrong to me jamming after the hand was over. Thanks.

[bholdr]

some of the biggest winners in stud 8 are hands that are either concealed high hands or low hands that develop into big high hands. they are very deceptive, and opponents will often call them down with very little, assuming that you're going low and hoping that their weak high will be good for half the pot.

[Bartholow]

Hero had 3 fives on 6th. Do you still dislike the raise? I can't decide myself.

Somehow I've been winning at my forays into high-low, but I feel completely unqualified to give advice.
