Same shorthanded table, nobody folds unless someone pairs on the board (and makes a bet).

Stage #171988538: Seven Card Normal $0.50/$1 [ 2005-08-17 12:48:49 ]
Q - Ante $0.02; W - Ante $0.02; ROCKETWAD - Ante $0.02; H - Ante $0.02

ROCKETWAD - Pocket [6d,Kd,Ad]
H - Bring-In $0.20 (6h)
ROCKETWAD - Calls $0.20
Q - Calls $0.20 (7h)
W - Calls $0.20 (10h)

Good potential hand. Should I have raised here, or folded even? I usually dont complete with hands like this, but figured when shorthanded I need to mix it up a bit more, no?

Wow, another free card. Should I bet out to represent the made low?

I can't believe these guys. I still have only ace high, so I'll take yet another free card.

I should have the low wrapped up, so I fire and everybody folds to my ace high. Q played it terrible IMO.

Any comments appreciated. 8)

Id lead on 5th to try and get some money in the pot. If you hit your low, based on teh board it figures to be the best low, and you can also hit your hi for a scoop with an ace, king, running diamonds, etc. IMO you were missing some value. But then again, im really no stud 8 expert... just starting out... lol

I WAS going to do just that, but this table DOES NOT fold. If the guy with the 7's had bet, unless they had 7's beat they would have folded, but if I bet representing the low, would they call here hoping to win only the high (only other hand that could have a low was the 7's, but if he did would he not have bet?) This is the conundrum I was in, hence the post... :?
