HORSE: a $46.40 pot in Stud Hi/Lo

I've been doing surprisingly well the last couple of days at PokerStars HORSE tables, both tournaments and ring games. Pretty simple, really: follow my list of starting hands in Omaha, start with three unpaired cards <= 8 in Razz or Stud Hi/Lo, and start with JJx or better in Stud.

And then this game happened tonight (edited out irrelevant stuff):

PokerStars Game: HORSE (7 Card Stud Hi/Lo Limit, $0.50/$1.00) - 2007/01/07 - 04:09:37 (ET)
Seat 1: Sofa_KingLky ($19.10 in chips)
Seat 2: GigaDeck ($11.80 in chips)
Seat 3: QuinnDnvr ($18.70 in chips)
Seat 4: dlazmdm ($28.85 in chips)
Seat 5: LauricT ($23 in chips)
Seat 6: aislepoker ($21.65 in chips)
Seat 7: ~Angel Kiss~ ($26.65 in chips)
Seat 8: wizball ($12.15 in chips)

Dealt to LauricT [6h Ac 5d] [Ad] (QuinnDnvr looks to be the one I'll showdown against. And my buried aces beat his jacks. He called before my raise, so I don't think he's got a J down)

Dealt to wizball [7h 8c] [5s]
QuinnDnvr: bets $1
LauricT: raises $1 to $2 (What I'm trying to say: Hey buddy, here's what I think of your three hooks! What I'm really thinking: Crap -- hope he doesn't have a concealed pair for a boat)
aislepoker: folds
wizball: raises $1 to $3 (Where'd he come from? Looks like he's pushing for the low; he can have it now.)
GigaDeck: calls $3
QuinnDnvr: raises $1 to $4 (I've got AA showing, and he raises with JJJ. His boat has me worried.)

Dealt to LauricT [6h Ac 5d Ad Ah 3s] [3c] (Boat!)
