7 stud hi-lo
only 2 playes in pot after the guy with a K bets 500 and one other person raises 500

There was about $200 in antes
2000 bet after 1st round (500 bet and 500 raise called)
3000 bet after 4th card (500 bet an called here on out)
4000 bet after 5th card
5000 bet after 6th card
6000 bet after final bet

Guy risked 3000 to win 100 (split of the ante)
That was the absolute most he could win.
Other guy risked NOTHING to win $3200
Wost case scenario for him was a $100 win.

That is the math of the situation
It was impossible for the guy with 3 kings to do better than win $100

You are laying huge odds that someone does not win it all. In this case, with only one other player, there was not even anything to win! His mistake was the first $500 bet. He lost $2500 more "protecting" that $500.

That is why I do not play high
