This hand was played at FT yesterday. At 4th street:
(Seat 5)My board: x,x,8h,2h
(Seat 6)Opponent: x,x,2c,8c

So who starts the action?

Clubs don't go first since they are "lower"? I actually have no idea but I'd guess that or relative to the button seems reasonable, too.

Goes by suits, same thing on 3rd afaik....razz is backwards from stud. In stud you start with clubs and go alphabetically, so in razz spades always bring in before anything else.

In this scenario the club would act first since it's a "lower" hand like skold said.

I thought the same, but hearts played first. Must be something related to button position as Noir_Desir wrote. Does anybody know the exact reason? Button was between Seat 8 & Seat 1.

OK, found the answer here:

On fourth and all successive streets, the betting always starts with the player showing the lowest board. If two or more players have the same low board, the betting begins with the player closest to the left of the button.

This means that where you sit makes a difference!!! So try to sit to the right side of the button!!!

That's the rule I've always seen applied. It doesn't come up very often, so I'd rather sit to the right of the tight players rather than the button.

This is probably not the rule on AP though.
