Shortly after missing on the other hand I posted today, this one came up.

Not a bad starting hand, lots of scooping potential. Just a limp here (NOTE: Rollinrave has completed the bring-in with an ace showing at least 3 times that I could remember, fully expected him to complete it after me, but he just limped as well...made me think he had a monster).

An excellent 4th card. Open-ended low straight draw, plus backdoor flush draw. Only one opponent caught a low card, so I put in a bet to hopefully get it heads up (which has worked four or five times this session). Oops. Everyone called. No worries, just a bigger pot when I scoop this bad boy.

Bonney caught good, rollinrave also caught a low. I put a bet in here, hopefully to scare rollinrave and trey into folding, thinking that wbonney would raise. Classic squeeze-play scenario, but they both called, and wbonney just called also. Maybe I am thinking a little too sophisticated for these guys...

I missed my low/straight again, but picked up another heart, making it an open-ended straight-flush draw now. I figure I will scoop with a 7 or 2, may win low with an 8, will win low with an ace, and will probably win high with any heart (of which only one other heart is showing). Considered raising here with all those outs, to get rollin and trey out, but after seeing them call all my bets previously, figured they were in too deep (plus they both had pretty good low's showing).

Total Pot($22.60) | Rake ($1)

I understand completely that results don't matter, but I left them in here so everyone can see what these guys were calling with, so you have an idea of how these tables play (this is standard at Absolute), to see if I was justified in my thinking throughout the hand.
Comments please.

You played it okay in my opinion. The only exception would be to raise on 6th for value -- I checked twodimes.net and your hand is actually .331 equity on 6th, so if everyone calls, you're happy. They probably won't all call, though, and if Wbonney has a pair of 8s instead of 4s to go with his low, you're not looking too good. So I think a call is okay.
