Re: Low gutshot on 4th in a $10/$20 game
Checking 4th here is absolutely absurd. If your low draw was open ended or lower like 2346 I would jam 4th 100%. As is it I would probably jam and call somewhat evenly. It's been so long since I put in a lot of Stud 8 hands but this looks like it might be one of those situations where the 2 low hands jamming it against a high hand are just punishing themselves and putting the dollars in when the high hand has the best equity. Your gutshot may help you enough to not make this the case though.
This might be one of those rare situations where you can actually fold a made low on 6th or 7th as well. I wouldn't, but if someone did I would probably tell them they played it better than I would have. Luckily you ended up catching the 9 on the river so you have to show down but if you hadn't improved folding would probably be the right play. Also please don't raise this river, it is really easy to be scooped here.
