Default Too tricky for low stakes?

First time posting a hand, definitely won't be my last, as I'm going to be trying to make this game my bread and butter. Card Selection seems to be so key, and alot of low stakes players can't grasp this. Plus my almost unlimited aggression and love of math... its a fun game for me without the heart attacks of Hold'em. Anyway.. on to this fun hand.

I was called a "calling station" after this hand by Villian as he left. While I think it might have been right for the first call.. IDK. He had been losing and entering plenty of pots.. so no real respect here. Here's my thoughts on it...

7 Card Stud High-Low ($0.25/$0.50), Ante $0.05, Bring-In $0.10 (converter)

Hero: $8.50
Seat 2: $6.90
Seat 3: $16.05
Seat 4: $3.30
Seat 5: $10
Seat 6: $5.20
Seat 7: $9.85
Seat 8: $13.60

3rd Street - (1.60 SB)

Seat 7: xx xx 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]___folds
Seat 8: xx xx 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]___folds

I think I have odds here to defend.. and decent doorcard.

4th Street - (4.60 SB)

Seat 6: xx xx A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]___calls

Good low board showing.. I can take the momentum on the next street with the double bet. Seat 6 has bricked and is dead money, imo.

5th Street - (3.80 BB)

Hero: 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]___raises

Representing the wheel, I try to calm them down to take it away on 6th or 7th.. seat 6 is definitely dead (unless trying to make a flush work.) Seat 3 has at most 2 pair. I don't think I caught the case 3.

6th Street - (9.80 BB)

Follow through... I still wondering why seat 6 stays in, but its okay. Maybe they are redrawing and 7th street will bring folds. Lots of chasers fold late.
