I was playing my first LO8 session tonight, and this is one of the interesting hands that came up. My gut feeling was that the other two people were going after the low. If I knew that for a fact, then I should obviously raise, as I'm only putting in 1/3 of the bets but winning 1/2 the pot. I'm just not sure if top two pair is a strong enough to be raising on the river.

thundrsmom checks, Luxorrr64 checks, stickdude checks, thugpashon checks, 2of Spades checks, theway0 checks.

Not sure why I didn't bet here with top two pair...

thundrsmom checks, Luxorrr64 checks, stickdude checks, thugpashon bets $1, 2of Spades folds, theway0 folds, thundrsmom calls $1, Luxorrr64 folds, stickdude calls $1.

As I look back on this hand, I'm not sure this is a good call here - I have no possible low hand, and I'm drawing thin to a 32 here - An Ace or Jack gives me a full house, and a 2 gives me a 2nd nut straight. 32 seems like a pretty reasonable holding for O8
