As far as open limping, I don't always do it. The point is that you improve your position and see your opponents' action. Generally you do it with aggressive players in front of you. That way, you can get away from marginal hands cheaply when the action tells you that you are in trouble, as well limpreraising sometimes with big hands. In razz, representing a big hand is not as important as in other forms of poker.

Obviously, I am not advocating limping to generally limp/call weak hands and call all the way.

If you look at the stud high hand here, I played it completely standardly.

I think you are looking in terms of playing tight aggressive as good, but you have to look beyond that and look at situations.

The only thing questionable in my play of the stud high hand is the call on 4th, but you can see that I had a very good read that villain had nothing. There is a techniqye known as floating, used often is NLHE, where you call with nothing, thinking your opponent doesn't have much and you can take the pot later.
