Can anyone give me a line check on this hand I played during the Stud hi/lo round during the micro millions $5.5 8-game tourney?

I have no specific reads on villain just that he was playing tighter than the rest of the table and seemed to have some poker understanding on most of the games while maybe being to weak/passive

3rd and 4th are standard I'm mainly unsure If I should 3b him on 5th with most likely the best high when we are up against a clear low?

Do you lead 6th and bet on 7th?

i'd 3bet 5th if he's showing 427 or 273. and i can't tell what's happening beyond that point.

I read it as villain shows 273. I agree with re-raising 5th, but after we essentially brick 6th the rest of the hand is x/c, x/c.

FYI - OP - you should hide opponents' down cards. Seeing that info makes it harder to provide good feedback, since the cards your opponents actually had is irrelevant to a strategic analysis.

on 6th it is often good to bet when they catch paint or pair up when you have the best high hand, but in this particular situation it was possible they had two diamonds down (admittedly there are few combos given the ace 6 3 and 7 are gone or showing) and thats why they raised you on 5th - or they have a low, in which case i'm guessing you may be a small favourite depending on what low they have and suits (because you may be a big favourite to win the high, and only a moderate underdog to make a better low). so either you are flipping or losing quite badly at this point.

in other words, to bet on 6th is too dicey, but it's not too good a spot to fold. check/call.

on the river you basically have to check and cry call.

with regards to 5th it may be better to 3b in a cash game but just call in a tournament for the sake of chip preservation if the hand goes wrong - each chip lost is worth more than each chip gained

First off you played it perfect.

In general I don’t 3! 5th. Your board is the same as his and you’re a dog vs his range unless he’s been crazy

The posters advocating 3! Either haven’t played enough Stud8 or they haven’t ran equities

pretty sure i play this exact same way.

don't think i ever consider 3b on 5th really unless he's nuts

do you think he's more apt to raise a lo + draw or a pair + lo draw?
i think there's more combos of pair + lo draws that raise as such small fraction of lo's have open enders.

i think i usually agree with just calling in this spot, but with 2 6's and 2 diamonds dead, i'm not afraid to push my equity vs his entire range.

His board vs your board he's not gonna be raising with a pair and a low draw, except maybe 7A in the hole. He should generally have A4, A5, 54 to raise.
