Default shorthanded sit\'n\'go play

This is my first post in the stud section and this is going to be pretty long. I hope this won't be boring though. I think if I get good answers, it might be helpful to a lot of people.
I like to play different kinds of poker, and I'm more a tournament player than a cash game player, so I like to play Horse sit'n'goes.
My result are quite good in $5 tournaments, but not as good in $10 tournaments.
Anyway, I think one of the big leaks in my game is that I have trouble playing the different sort of stud when the game becomes shorthanded and the antes are high. I'm doing well full ring and 3 handed too, but I have trouble adjusting my play to 4 or 5 handed games (maybe it's also a bubble problem, but i don't have this problem in other games).

I played one of these earlier. We got four-handed at he end of Omaha hi/lo and my stack looked decent. However by the end of stud hi/lo I had lost most of it.
I don't know if I played too tight, or if I did pass on some stealing opportunity, or if there was just nothing else to do.
Here are the hands I had to play. Do you think I missed some stealing oppotunities ?

I'll call villain the guy on my left, who was extremely loose and extremely agressive.
The player on his right was tighter, but liked to pick up fights against villain, and won a lot of chips overall doing so.
The player on my right was much tighter and played very few hands.
(I'm sorry if this is not pleasant to read, but using a converter didn't seem appropriate).

Razz (150/300 ante 25)
Seat 3: villain (3,050)
Seat 5: other guy (2,235)
Seat 6: tight guy (4,098)
Seat 8: hero (2,617)

1. K brings in, J folds, 8 calls, I complete with 3-7-2, K folds, 8 calls
Fourth street, I pair my 7, and tight guy gets a Q. I bet, he folds.

2. Q brings in, 2 limps, 3 folds, I have A-7-A and I fold.
Should I steal in spite of the limp ?

3. K brings in, 5 folds, I complete with 4-6-8, 7 folds, K folds.

4. 8 brings in, 3 fold, villain shows a 7, I fold 2-3-2.

5. Q brings in, 3 fold, villain shows a J, I fold K-T-T.

6. I bring in with 4-2-K, 9 folds, 7 completes, 2 calls, I fold.

7. I bring in with 5-A-Q, 4 completes, T folds, 6 folds.

8. K brings in, 9 folds, villain shows a 9, I fold K-K-Q.

9. K brings in, K folds, I complete with 2-A-8, T calls, K calls.
fourth street, I catch a J, villain catches a 7, K catches a 8. Villain bet, we both call.
Fifth street, I catch another J, The K-8 catched a Q, and villain a K and bets again. We both fold.
I guess I should have folded on fourth.

9. I bring in with 9-7-T, T folds, 2 completes, 7 calls, I fold.

10. I bring in with 7-7-Q, T completes, 8 call, 2 fold, I fold.

11. K brings in, one 8 and one 9 to speak after me, I fold 3-J-7.

12. I bring in with Q-6-Q. A completes, T fold, 7 folds, I fold.

13. T brings in, I complete with 7-3-5, 7 calls, A folds.
Fourth street, villain catches a 6 and bet. I catch a K and fold.

Stud (200/400 ante 30) my stack is down to 2.017.

1. 2 brings in, I fold 7-6-A, with A and 2 after me.

2. 8 brings in, T and A after me, I fold A-8-T.
Should I consider that, the fact I have an A and a T means they're less likely to have a pair, or that I have 3 dead outs ?

3. I bring in with 8-6-2, A completes, Q calls, 2 folds, I fold.

4. 5 brings in, there's an 8 and a 5 after me, I complete with A-2-Q.

5. I bring in with 5-9-6, T fold, A complete, 7 folds, I fold

6. 3 brings in, , 9 fold, villain shows an 8, I fold 2-8-6.

7. 3 brings in, I complete with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K raises, J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] folds.
Fourth street, I catch a queen, villain gets an ace and bet again. I fold.

8. 4 brings in, two nines after me, I fold A-9-5.

9. 2 brings in, 8 limps in, I limp with 5-A-5, 2 limps in as well.
Fourth street, the bring in pair his 2 and bets out, the 8 catches a J and call, I catch a 6 and I fold.

10. 2 brings in, 5 folds, villain shows a K, I fold 9-J-6.

11. 5 brings in, 7 folds, villain also shows a 7, I fold J-2-6.

12. 2 brings in, a 5 and a 6 after me, I fold T-8-4.

12. 2 brings in, T folds, villain shows a 6, I fold 9-Q-2.

As we reach stud hi/lo I'm down to 1,247 chips.

Well, I'm gonna take a break, because it's getting late here In Europe. I'll do the same for stud hi/lo tomorrow.
Feel free to comment this. I really don't know where I could have won chips, even though I know where I could have saved some.

Thanks
