Stud 8: Worst hand we call with? Stud 8: Worst hand we call with?

5 handed green chip game, villain is an older experienced stud player, plays a little too loose on early streets (peels 4th more than I would) but reads hands decently well on later streets and makes correct bets based on board textures.

3rd: Villain brings in with a 3, J and 6 fold, I complete with a 5 up, Q folds, villain calls
4th: I bet 5Kr, villain calls with 39r
5th: I bet 5K4 two flush, villain calls with 396r
6th: I check 5K48, villain checks back 3967
7th: I check, villain bets.

What's the worst hand you all would be calling here given the action?

My initial read would be the 7 paired the villain, and he made a 7-low on 7th, or (less likely) straightened out on 7th, or (quite easlly) bricked 7th. So I'd prefer a flush or straight on the high, but I'd be hard pressed to fold to that board if I had a made 8-low or 2p on the high side, and possibly any pair above 77. Once you've put in the complete and 4th-5th bets, don't think you could fold at this point with any of the above hands.

Any nightmare scenario like (555<777) or (his perfect-perfect 6th-7th) just seems like a cooler, bad luck, oh well.

i call most times with one side possible. unless he is timid and doesnt bet often on the river then i would call almost everytime as that means he made a monster so with any low or decent high you might get half.

I would call extremely wide here (any low/any pair) as you are in a steal position and bring in can be defended very wide.

My thoughts were that I would be calling with any made low, and I never have two pair or better after I check so it's just a matter of deciding how weak of a high only hand I should be calling with. I ended up calling with a pair of fives, anyone think that's too wide?

8's would be minimum high I would call with, and any low (based on villain check back of 7 on 6th).

probably thin cry-call with 3's,
cry-call with 4s, 5s
feel okay with 6s,
feel good with 7s+

against someone tricky or if im paranoid about being exploited, i'd prolly call with 2s as well but i think most will bet the freeroll on 6th.
