Online Poker Forum - Too aggressive with my completed low against someone else chasing theirs?

Ok, so, I have a completed low on 5th, freerolling to a gut-shot straight and an improved low. Guy sitting next to me is obviously playing a high hand with probably a flush draw. Last guy is obviously chasing a low, but calling every single raise with only a low draw, even with his bricks showing...

3rd st: Why are you raising? Your hand has little 2-way potential and your odds of making a low aren't great after the limper. Call here, and throw it away if you catch bad on 4th.
4th st: Call is fine here. Given 3rd st, raise isn't bad either. You caught very well and the limper and the bring are probably behind you for low. If you can interpret the 9 door's response, raise.
5th st: good
6th st: good
7th st: Whoa! Yer read is fine, but after he raises the end, ask yourself 'Is he bluffing and what can I beat?' There's clearly a high and a low on the board -> he ain't bluffin'. Unless he has a well conceealed boat or quads he's got a low (and he didn't act like a guy who's rolled up). If he's got a low, you've got an 865. He called the cap twice then raised on the end, he's proud of his low. I know in the heat it can be tough to fold this, but you gotta repect the raise on the end (unless he's a total maniac).
