Table is full of calling stations and it's profitable to pump the pot early even when playing for half of it until 5th street with most strong hands.

Seat 7 is half decent (he is the only other player I've seen raise so far) and I expect him to raise almost always on 4th after I catch bad for a low, even if he has not got a strong draw to one himself.

Can I fold 6th? No 5's have gone yet (except on Seat 7 who caught one).

And I didn't really fold 7th, because I had to see it to believe it.

c/r 4th with 84 ? ... lead 5th into a wheel ?

this is terribad - valuetown urself here.

if you are winning and have $100 move up to .25/.5 or .5/1

When I lead 5th I'm hoping to put pressure on the two guys going for hi to drop out - wheel draw guy clearly has an A but who knows what his other card is here - he can easily have a baby pair or even AA; if I can catch good on 6th or 7th I could easily make a perfect X Low hand and can value jam on 6th if I make a wheel or a smooth 6 when he obviously makes a good hi, with the chance to scoop this huge pot.

I agree with LT7.

I think you're better off playing it cautiously once you catch the 8 and seat7 catches good. Even if he has a hidden high hand, wouldn't you want the other apparent high hands to tie themselves into the pot(re:value)?

You want to put pressure on the other 2 players and you have no high hand to speak of. You are not going to take a piece of the pot with your Ace high very often EVEN if you manage to get this hand to heads up play. And, if you do hit your wheel, don't you want the pot to be multi-way? I understand that you wouldn't want one of the high hands to make a better hand then a wheel, and I know that you're looking to scoop it, but again, once seat7 catches 2 perfect cards, you have to find a way to minimize your cost for your draw, while also allowing others to call so you can get full value for your draw.

I hate 6th but the pot is large. Against some opponents, I will pay off on the river. And, as "wishfull thinking" as that may sound, that call isn't anywhere near as bad as your 4th and 5th street plays(no offense), because, any thinking, decent player will be betting all sorts of hands in this spot based on the strength of their board alone.

I'd cap third. I don't understand the check-raise on fourth. I think the river fold is awful. Yes, you're probably beaten both ways, but you're getting more than 10:1 that the other guy doesn't really have a low (or that he doesn't have AK beaten for high). The odds just aren't so overwhelmingly in favor of him having you beaten that you should lay down for one lousy bet in this huge pot.
