Well, I know I played this way too passive, but I'm not sure where I should have gotten more aggresive at. I think on 4th I just want to flat and try to keep the 3rd player in the hand since I'm drawing. Correct? Or, should I raise 4th and try to take the pot heads up increasing my chances of backing into a low or a pair of some sort and having it be good? As 4th played out, I should have raised 5th? I'm probably a favorite against most 1 pair hands and have a good chance to scoop the pot.

I think I get aggressive on 5th and raise it. You've got posession of what appears to be the sole low draw and a good spade draw. i'm happy putting in another bet there.

moreover, i think it's worth it to pop it on the river too. i'm very certain i have the low won (even though this is a sketchier low than i'd want), so i'm willing to take a shot freerolling for my stake in this pot back and try to scoop the whole pot by pressuring the villain into thinking his two pair aren't good and make him fold.

in a multiway pot with what i know to be the winning low, i will call and hope for overcalls with worse lows to give me a bigger cut of the pot. heads up, i raise, because that's my only real shot at equity in the pot, especially if the pot has been heads up since early on (5th or earlier).

I'm fairly sure, especially at this level, that the villan doesn't fold for one more bet on the river. If you look at Hero's board, ignoring the hole cards, it looks roughly similar to what my dog just did in the yard. I don't think he'll fold, even if he's not thinking "there's 9 BBs in the pot now, even for half I only have to be right 20% of the time". You need to know he's made this fold before.

I'm tempted to raise 4th. Yes you're drawing, but it's such a nice draw. Still, I'm only saying tempted because I also wouldn't mid keeping the third player in to build the pot. If this is 5 way, I think you must raise here.

5th, hmmm. Remember this guy raised the bring in 2nd to act. I'd be very surprised if he doesn't have an Ace in the hole, and you're not a favourite against that. If you had caught a spade here you're raising which sounds obvious, but you would even if you didn't have 2 spades in the hole. You may take the pot there with a scary board, or get a free card on 6th.

But with the spades in the hole, and as played on 4th: Yes, I think you raise 5th with a combination of a very strong 2 way draw, with the bonus of maybe getting a free card if you brick 6th.

Way too passive. Raise and cap 4th! You're very likely to be ahead - ignore the BI
Raise 5th! Again a very likely +EV play....

True, but there's still hardly any value in my view at just calling here. If this multi-way until 6th, I would like a call, and multi-way on the river, I would definitely call, but I do feel like it's too passive not to take this shot here.

If anything, this will set up an image that you will make plays to scoop, thus inviting a call in situation where your opponent at best may get quartered.

i don't like the slow-play on 3, but that's just me, a lot of people would just flat call and look for the action...i prefer to just jam the pot right now and get some money in while trying to get heads-up

i would raise it on 4 probably, it looks like he might have caught bad and he's not going away for one more bet...and if you catch a spade on 5 he's probably going to fly away anyway unless he improves, and if he does we might have a chance to scoop a big one by putting that extra bet in on 4

and even if you've just called 3 and 4, you have to raise on 5, you have a monster draw with what looks like an even money shot at scooping

however, since you just called all the way through, i like the flat call on 6 and 7

I think 4th st is a must raise there. You want to get the bring in out if he has a better 3 card low or if he peels to improve to a low draw. And there is nothing to fear in the orig. raisers hand. An offsuit Q is a big brick in that hand. Even if he had buried aces which is unlikely i dont mind being head up with him. At worst you brick on 5th and maybe get a free card. As it was 5th st. you have a huge hand and should have been jamming IMO.
