as for the pot size v's the call, tight enough but:

your in trouble for the low (you know that)

so for half the pot your chasing for a house with RealSpliffit having a pair of 9's and part of a straight flush (unlikely) showing & he is betting out
so even if you hit the house you could be dead

put it down and save the chips! (maybe)

im a fairly conservative stud player; well taG, but you figured that out already

but in mixed games i don't see anything wrong with tight(ish) play
if at a table of very loose players keep it solid imo

don't play the other mixed games yet tbh

i like this book, its old school and tight but a very good stud grounding imo

I think the overcall on 4th was a mistake as you're dominated for low way too often and have very little high potential, even though it's multiway your low won't be good often enough. I'd want to be drawing to a 6 to continue here with the other guy showing 63.

5th the guy showing 635 has the strongest lowdraw and probably has a decent hidraw to go along with it. If you'd made your 7low I'd have serious doubts about continuing anyway but pairing the seven just means that you have a very mediocre 2-way hand that will never be good for either half.

As regards the call on 6th, you're getting ~11/1 to call to scoop so 5.5/1 for the high. These equities aren't great because I couldn't figure out how to use the simulator properly but should be accurate enough.

Td6d|9dQc9c8c 13.16% 1,089 156,808 0 0 0
LL|6s3s5c4h 55.92% 201,779 273,359 2,244 388,281 14,903
7h2h|3d5h7d5s 8.81% 3,492 78,507 0 26,742 0
LL|8s5dAd4s 22.11% 34,759 89,082 2,244 164,726 14,903

So you have 78.5/597.6 = 13.1% equity for the high and hardly any for the low and you need 15% so a call isn't a big leak.

Having said that I'd have folded 4th and 5th anyway.
