I'm not that good at stud 8

[electrical]

So I probably shouldn't be playing this hand at all, and I don't know whether 4th is really bad or about right, or if I butchered the rest of this hand.

After I hit trips everything seemed automatic, and I feel like an idiot when I force myself into automatic situations, or at least I know I will play the same as an idiot.

This was in a HORSE game against players who have repeatedly shown a deep misunderstanding of stud games and well, poker in general. I'm afraid I joined them on this one.

My hand is too close to a Razz hand with the Four out and a couple of clubs gone, and I probably should have tossed it on Third. My thinking at the time was that these players aren't that great, and I could have value against two stubborn one-way high hands. I'll admit to being at a loss on 4th, even (especially) given my thinking on 3rd.

Given all that crap, it looks like I even compounded my error by failing to bet the river. Looking at this now I feel like a complete retard.
