Hand 2 you slowed WAY too soon. Keep firing unless he's showing 4 to a flush. Don't forget that the hand is 4 way at this point so in the unlikely event your opponent has a flush you're not losing much by ramping the pot because of all the dead money that's going in with you holding a powerful boat draw. Just calling on 5th street was pretty bad on this table IMO. You;ll also note that on 6th the guy who leads seems to have a pretty garbagey board (which could be a higher set but, in these games seemingly, more likely nothing much) and there are 4 dead clubs which makes Mr Clubby highly unlikely to have a set, given his check. I'd keep firing on 5th and then you kind of know if the dry-looking dude bets into you on 6th you're probably beaten and can just check/call down. Also don't forget that NO-ONE can put you on a set - rolled-up sets are the most deadly holding in stud and you've gotta really get pretty lively with them, especially multiway with the crap boards that were showing.
Hand 3 I let it go on third if it's an aggressive table. I don't much mind the way you played it from 5th onwards - these guys seem very passive and the chances of 8s being good at this stage seem limited. Problem with stud on a smal limit table is that you have precisely zero fold equity for a single bet on 5th and 6th against most players so it's hard to fire another bullet here.
The main error you made IMO was going so slow on hand 4. You should've made 4-6 more BBs out of this hand, which is a LOT to lose wth a sub-optimal play in a limit game.
Reading this reminds me, I want to play more stud again

I figured check call on river is the standard for this kind of situation. Should I just keep betting this hand til he stops me or shows something better on the board?

Did i slow down too soon when that guy showed his flush draw or should i be raising and see if he 3 bets with this many people in the pot? I like my river bet though. Who would check a hand that beats 3 4's?
