0.25/0.50 Stud Hi bad fold? 0.25/0.50 Stud Hi bad fold?

These 2 werent on the table for long but they seemed OK players, at least for this level.

I was mostly scared of Seat 6 who limped with an Ace and then bet 4th and 5th, looked a lot like a flush. Also I had no idea what Seat 8 could check-raise with...

But when I look at my own play it makes no sense too. Should I've folded 4th when i got no diamond? When I got a diamond on 5th is fold an option?

Also this was my last hand of the session, I already closed all other tables so it might have influenced my decision (not wanting to leave with a big loss)...

How would you play this?

I would have folded on 4th. You bricked and the only way you're gonna win this hand is with a flush, and you may well be against a bigger flush draw anyway. Even if the villain just paired the seven, you're in bad shape. Your fold on 5th I think is fine. The pot isn't that big, so calling 2 cold is really bad when you may be drawing very slim.

I think folding fourth is the best play here.

I'm gone on 4th in this scenario when the ace bets out. He could have a pair of aces, or be drawing to a higher flush than yours. Your own flush draw consists of small cards only, meaning that making a flush is your only chance of winning this hand, and even then you cannot be confident in your winning chances given the two-flush on your opponent's board.

Also, by 4th, already 3 other diamonds are gone (there were two other diamonds as upcards on 3th street and an additional one appears on 4th). Since your flush draw is small and you didn't catch a 4th diamond on 4th, your odds to make the flush decrease. Fold and save your money for a better opportunity.

Fourth is a very easy fold. You can fold fifth, too.
