Default Stud8 - cleaning up weak high hands in order to scoop

I primarily am not posting this to get comments on the play, although if you want you can comment on if 6th street is bad. Anyway I included the results.

This hand made me think about a strategic point I have not been paying attention to before. Probably seat 5 had some kind of weak high, since he thought about calling for a very long time. However, he folded, and that probably worked out beautifully for me since I got to scoop. So that's what I am thinking: when playing a low hand should you try to somehow represent a high or make it many bets for the high hands to cold call so that they might possibly fold? Is this a point generally worth paying attention to, or did I just get incredibly lucky?
