I think I've got a handle on what low hands you can play. You really want to have the best low draw, and as much chance as possible of also making a high. Eight draws (and even some seven draws) are problematic unless you have an ace, a straight draw or a flush draw. Things like 862 without a three-flush can normally hit the muck unless you're the only player going low. If you brick a good low draw on fourth street, you can normally call one bet to see fifth; it helps if your brick is a low card that has given you a pair because your opponents won't know you've made a pair. High hands - even pairs of aces - still cause me a bit of trouble however. Here are a few hands from my short stud-8 "career":
Hand 1
There were chips flying everywhere here. Forty-seven big bets! Amazingly I could have ended up with nothing if Sammy had hit his seven-out open-ender on the river. I could also have ended up with just a quarter (which must be a rare occurrence in this game) or possibly the whole thing.

We both realise eventually that while we've got monsters we're only getting half the pot each so we should stop feeding the rake. If I was him I would have folded the (JT)T on third.

Hand 4
I made a dreadfully awful fold on third here. I guess one of the difficulties of this hand is that you have to reraise it, basically telling everyone I either have wired aces or rolled-up eights. I wonder what Shaan had. I won't be folding this again, but I'll still be dumping stuff like Urban's (QT)9, thank you very much.

Hand 5
This was just my eighth hand at the table and I couldn't figure out what Identite had. With no hearts dead, a low three-flush (possibly with a straight draw as well) should have been top of the list. Somehow I had rolled-up fives in my head. He turned out to be a bit of a monkey and he could have had a lot of hands other than the flush he showed up with. I don't know whether my river bet was that bad. Presumably my play on earlier streets is OK; maybe there's a case for folding sixth.

Hand 7
None of my opponents' play makes much sense to me here. Even when I make aces up through the back door I don't really expect to me good for half, let alone the whole lot.

Hand 8
This is a relatively common spot. Here I make a good (but far from unbeatable) high hand against what looks like an obvious low, and I want everyone else out. I was pretty sure I was winning for high with all those dead sevens getting in the way of Siltom's straight draw (in fact all the sevens were dead, although I'd forgotten about the one that was folded on third).

Hand 9
Now for some bonus badugi hands. Chocozen obviously isn't very good; I never expected him to have a six after drawing three. I'm surprised he didn't reraise the river. I guess this was a good break for me.
