I thought it was a very simple fold too until I started actually looking up odds. I'm basically coin flipping (even slightly ahead) if I get called by a "good" Stud/8 starting hand. A lot of people have each other's outs and only one of mine is dead. The only thing that really crushes me are pocket aces, since no one is showing one.
Does Zee discuss short-stacked tournament Stud/8 much? It seems most Stud/8 is going to played deep-stacked ring and thus most of the knowledge base will be fitted to that. There's zero implied odds for my opponents catching good on 4th and 5th streets if I'm already all-in.
