im no good at stud but i would assume not

For a limp in for the min, you better hit another diamond to continue.

And a low one at that.

You get dealt | immediatly before the bring-in. 5 people limp in for 15. do you fold this?

I wold say you fold... You are basicly drawing for half of the pot...

However, if there is no other K of A on the table and not more than 1 diamond, you can take a shot to the next card...

Great catch with the blinds!

This is hi/lo split Alex, this is in no way an "extremely strong hand" You have nothing to protect.

You have three to the flush, two to a low, and and no pair. You are drawing to a draw with this hand.

There are only six cards I would want to see on 4th street. If I don't catch four to the flush I am out, if you catcha non-diamond low card that is the equivalent to starting with three decent low cards then catching a brick. If anyone else started out well and caught a decent card you are drawing a card behind.

Exactly...

Thats the kind of hand you can catch a low Diamond on the 4th Street and spent a lot of money on your draws and finaly hit nothing... or hitting a weak lo and still loose...

I hate drawing hand in O8B or S8B

This is the actually hand, there were actually only two in the pot, one Ace folded, and the first two in have better low draws, fortunately, no spades are up.

You only have ~5:1 chance of catching your flush for only half the pot if you make it and if it holds up. Just what are you raising for, you only have two to a 8-low and 3 to the flush.

In this spot since the A and Q folded I can understand raising a little better to improve your high chances, but this is a terrible high draw against so many low cards.
