I raised 3rd hoping to thin down the field and figuring out if anyone is especially strong and check-raises.
On 4th the call was loose, but I did not put him on a strong 4 low, probably 3 low

Very loose call on 4th, i would say. Good read though, this is one of the ones that you shouldn't have shown the outcome, it kind of taints the responses (which is ironic for me to say because i'm the one that always wants you to show the outcome).

I'm not a big fan of the raise on 3rd with all those low cards showing (accent on big because it's not a bad play at all), but i see why you are doing it. I sometimes prefer to just call in this situation and see what happens.

Its rare that a raise this early pushes many people out (at least at these stakes, and in horse where a lot of people don't really understand proper razz strategy).

Can't argue too much with anything you did though, especially because it worked out so well.

On 3rd I can see the logic of limping, especially since my hand is not that great

On 4th the reason I called is that since he did not raise on 3rd I did not think he has a very strong hand, probably 3 low, and I was showing two low cards, so if I catch good at 5th and he catches bad I can pick the pot there
