You're right its 600 to win 500. The odds just arent there with that ugly door.

For the steal to show an immediate profit, we need to get folds about 55% of the time. I have no idea what would be considered the top 45% of stud/8 hands, but I doubt BI is defending that wide a range, even with our T door.

Plus, I'm assuming OP plays better on later streets than BI does.

So what sort of hands should I be stealing with in this situation? I understand you steal less shorthanded since the pot is smaller, but I thought this would be good enough. Apparently I'm bad at stud/stud8 steals I'm finding out in HORSE tournaments...

What I tend to steal with in short-handed stud/8:

Ace in the door, when no other aces are out there.

Any three low cards.

Any pair. (Yes, any.)

If the bring-in has a brick in the door and I have a higher brick, and I'm last to act and I'm head-up with the bring-in.

Okay, that works perfectly for me, thanks. Anyone else have an opinion?
