this is stud8 right?

with K2K I am folding, not reraising. Especially with a K for my upcard.

On the river I suppose you got to call just in case he's bluffing.

Yep, 7 stud 8 or better

3rd street I reraised hoping to knock out everyone but the original raiser and pick up the pot if he catches bad on 4th, Folding may have been better

4th street was good for me, if they both go low they caught bad, and I got an A, so I bet, I was surprised to see them both call.
5th street villian paired his T and bet, my line of thinking was that he eithe has 3 lows + pair of tens and tried to pick up the pot or he has 2 pair, either another 6 in the hole which he played badly or pocket Q/J, hopefully noy T

6th was a bad card for me, but the pot was big enough to try to hit 2 pair

7th, I think if he bets I would have to call just because of the size of the pot, luckily he checked and had only pocket T

You shouldn't be surprised that people chase backdoor draws after you've swelled the pot on 3rd street by reraising. If you goal is to knock players out on 4th when they catch bad, then just call and keep the pot small.

I would either fold or just call on 3rd, and the only reason I would call is because the raiser is in a steal position. Your hand has no low potential and is partially dead, which makes it pretty weak.

Agreed, I was hoping to pick up the pot early, which did not work out well here (eventually I won the pot but that is beside the point)
