I've found that these "maybe two-way" hands really really suck in Stud8, so you have to be REALLY careful playing them...

However in this hand you are a very slight equity dog vs. 998 (46%) and with all the dead kings I think it's definitely a reasonable play here since you can have him make mistakes on later streets.
