did i play this stud 8 hand right?

[scottyno 0]

final 15 or so in $10 stud 8 tourney on starsmy thinking was that if I can limp with this hand its worth it to see if I can catch on 4th, and its an easy fold if I miss. Once I caught a pair on 4th I bet to get some people out, once he raised I figured he had a good low hand, and then I put him in on 5th since he had so few chips left. Did I make the right play here? I guess I could have check called on 4th, but I dont really see a way that all my chips and all his chips don't end up in the pot.also, for anyone intersted, I just ran this hand through an odds calculator, and when the chips went in I was a slight favorite to win the high, but he would scoop this pot about 40% of the time, while I only have about a 20% chance to scoop this pot, with a split the rest of the timeTournament - 7 Card Stud High-Low (2,000/4,000), Ante 300, Bring-In 500 Seat 2: 12,505Seat 3: 24,585Seat 4: 54,007Hero: 15,822Seat 7: 13,137Seat 8: 8,1003rd Street - (0.90 SB)Seat 2: xx xx J:club: ___foldsSeat 3: xx xx T:club: ___foldsSeat 4: xx xx 5:diamond: ___brings-inHero: K:diamond: T:diamond: A:diamond: ___callsSeat 7: xx xx A:club: ___callsSeat 8: xx xx 5:heart: ___calls4th Street - (1.90 SB)Seat 4: xx xx 5:diamond: Q:club: ___foldsHero: K:diamond: T:diamond: A:diamond: K:heart: ___bets ___callsSeat 7: xx xx A:club: J:heart: ___foldsSeat 8: xx xx 5:heart: 6:diamond: ___raises5th Street - (2.95 BB)Hero: K:diamond: T:diamond: A:diamond: K:heart: Q:heart: ___betsSeat 8: xx xx 5:heart: 6:diamond: 3:diamond: ___calls 3300 and is all-in6th Street - (4.78 BB)Hero: K:diamond: T:diamond: A:diamond: K:heart: Q:heart: 4:club:Seat 8: xx xx 5:heart: 6:diamond: 3:diamond: 4:diamond: ___all-inRiver - (4.78 BB)Hero: K:diamond: T:diamond: A:diamond: K:heart: Q:heart: 4:club: A:spade:Seat 8: xx xx 5:heart: 6:diamond: 3:diamond: 4:diamond: xx ___all-inTotal pot: (4.78 BB)Results: Total pot 18400Hero: [Kd Td Ad Kh Qh 4c As] (HI: two pair, Aces and Kings)Seat 8: [4h 3h 5h 6d 3d 4d 2c] (HI: a straight, Deuce to Six; LO:

This is not really a premium starting hand. Probably folding on 3rd is correct, but if you're going to play, raise 3rd and hope to pick up the antes, especially in a tournament where just about any hand you play could be for all your chips. If he calls your raise on third, then you can check-fold 4th after he catches the 6. You're not critically shortstacked, so there's no need to push such a marginal hand. You want to wait for a better opportunity to get your chips in.

Dingas indicates that it is not a premium starting hand (which I agree with), but it is a good starting hand considering the low number of low cards showing. If you are going to play this fairly strong one-way drawing hand, you need to raise third street, to get rid of the chaffe. The villain wouldn't have folded anyhow, but you can't use results-oriented thinking to justify your play. Next time, bring that in for a raise.The rest of the hand plays itself, due to the chip stacks. 8)
