Three Handed Razz

[Sandberg]

Hi All, This was a Razz hand I played today on Poker Stars (.50/1) Horse cash game. I haven't really ever read how to play this game so I'm just kind of winging it. I hope people can tell me what I did wrong here if anything.

Bring in is to my direct right with a J.

I have a 2(48) for a smooth 8 draw.

BEhind me, I see a 2, T, 2, 5, T, 8

I just call the bring in on third street. Should I raise here?

Everyone folds around to the 8, who also calls. The bring in checks, and we are three handed going to third street.

Bring IN xx J8
Other Guy xx 84
Me (48)22

I pair on fourth but feel I have the best draw so it goes:

other guy bets
bring in calls
I call

Should I raise here?

Fifth street:

Other Guy: xx 846
Bring In: xx J89
Me (48) 22A

Now I have a smooth 8 draw. Other Guy bets, bring in calls (??) and I raise. Everyone calls.

Is it good to raise this? Should I have raised on fourth street?

Sixth Street:

Other Guy: xx 846Q
Bring In: xx J895
Me (48) 22A9

I make a 984, but I could still be behind to the other guy.


Bring in checks
I bet
Other guy calls
Bring in calls

Should I have checked here?

River:

Other Guy: xx 846Q x
Bring In: xx J895 x
Me (48) 22A9 (9)

So my hand ends up a 9842A

Bring in checks
I check
Other guy checks

Whatya all think?

4th is a fold IMO only because you are drawing to an eight at this point, while "other guy" seems to have made his 8, or is betting like it anyway. So you are behind on 5th and even when you catch your A you are still drawing to an 8
