I usually fold this 3rd.

fold this weak hand on third. straights suck in (low stakes) stud usually, and weak one gappers aren't worth playing, even when your inside outs are all live.but anyway,i'm guessing the guy had a pair + flush draw. i would check/call the river given no read.

Fold on 3rd, horrible starting hand.

Calling the bring-in on 3rd in this game is fine, IMO. The antes is .50/1 stud are usually fairly high, and the opponents are clearly very soft. Your hand is mostly live, and rates to be above average, given that some of your opponents will be playing any 3 cards. (In a tougher game, in early position on 3rd, I would fold without much thought).Against soft opponents, I'm okay with the rest of the hand as well. 5th street is the most interesting; I like the bet as long as your image is good and your opponents are weak. On the river, bet/fold is an option, but I think I would check/call without a good read on villain.

Don't play hands like that in the first place, and you won't be faced with ANY tough decisions for the rest of the hand.Check/call the river. 8)

While I don't entirely disagree with NiceGuy above, my sense is that you should just fold this piece of cheese on 3rd and avoid having to make hard decisions with a weak hand like this.But, assuming you did decide to see 4th, your play on 4th-6th is fine. He's almost certainly drawing (though maybe he picks up a pair). Do NOT bet on 7th. Value-betting in stud on 7th is a whole different animal than value-betting the river in LHE. This hand is NOT something you want to value-bet. You might extract an extra bet some modest amount of the time, but you will get popped more often than you'll get called by a worse hand (unless you know your opponent is a maniac, which changes the whole equation). This is a clear check-call, unless you are prepared to call him if he check-raises you (and you'd be dumb as a post to call in this case -- the number of people in a low-limit stud game who are capable of a bluff-raise on 7th is miniscule).

Fold this on 3rd....find a game with a lower ante if possible.4th-6th is okay...like everyone else says...looks like he's on the draw.Check/call the river.

If this table is really loose-passive as you say it is, then I think calling on 3rd street is fine. Seems like at these low limit, loose-passive games, playing too tightly on 3rd St. is a mistake. Take a card and see what happens. Otherwise....I think the rest of the hand is fine..with a very very easy check/call on the river.
