Re: Do you ever fold the nut low in LO8?
And to the OP, I literally only remember once or twice folding a made nut low. I've been fortunate to play in a lot of loose enough games where people could be in there calling multiple bets with all kinds of non-nut stuff to pad the pot.

Re: Do you ever fold the nut low in LO8?
an example:
2 players limp, hero limps BTN with A3TJns, SB completes, BB checks.
Flop (5 players, 5 small bets): 68Kr
everyone checks
Turn (5 players, 2.5 big bets): 2 (puts a 2-flush on board)
both blinds check, first limper bets, second limper raises, hero folds...

Re: Do you ever fold the nut low in LO8?
Very good examples here. In the game I've played I've seen people raise all sorts of stuff though so I haven't folded nut low yet. Though I have been quartered a couple times so maybe I should've.

Re: Do you ever fold the nut low in LO8?
what would you do if in bigblind with A29J rainbow
there were 5 callers and you checked the option
the flop was 356 rainbow
small blind checks, you bet, then raise,raise,raise,call,call back to you?
I would fold

Yeah, but stuff like that never happens. Or if it does, it's because some of the other players are tards, not because everyone flopped the nuts.
the reason I phrased the question as I did is that I can *imagine* situations where I would fold the nut low, but I've never actually done it myself. Granted I've never been a hardcore O8 grinder, so I'm kind of wondering if it's actually something that comes up for people.

If we call, first limper calls then we call river and get 1/4 we lose like an 1/8 of a bet or something. If we fold and nobody has A3, we lose a lot more.

Likely capped 5 ways I'm calling. Seems like we'd have odds then. No way four people all have A2. There's dead money coming from at least 2 players.
Only time a hand like this would ever happen is at the 2+2 Party though lol

I remember once on online $4 plo8 folding bare A2 on 345cc against two villains who went crazy, and I'd only invested 3bb or something so sticking another 80bb in seemed like a bad idea at the time.
Villain 1 turned over 44 no low, villain 2 turned over 3568cc.
I have called and got quartered more than enough, but I mostly forgot those  .

Re: Do you ever fold the nut low in LO8?
bare nut low may be worth only 25-30% pot equity. in the example i've given, I think that 25% is optimistic...
