Low content funny hand (PLO8)

[TomG]

I actually was afraid of over-committing myself to this flop which is the reason for the smooth call. Then I see a row of people push all-in and I figure even if I'm quartered I should be okay. Does anyone fold this??

Easy fold after the raise-reraise-call-call.

Reason being you have no redraws to a higher straight, and no outs to low. At best you're risking your stack to get a few more dollars, and you're dodging higher straight draws, maybe board pairs, counterfeits (if you are ahead for high), and three backdoor flushes. If you're going to take these close situations for half, redraws are the single most important factor.

BTW thanks for posting. I can't believe noone had A2

LOL yeah, after actually stopping to think about the hand, it's a pretty easy fold for me on the flop. I saw all that action and thought, "hey wtf I have the nut high!! I'm gonna f*ck you low hands up!!" Afterwards I starting sorting out my equity in the main pot and side pots and realized like you said that I'm risking my whole stack to at best get 1/4'rd. That's quite the risk/reward, ha. It sure was a fun hand to play though (well, other than the fact I lost $100 needlessly).

i agree... easy fold to the big action. there are too many cards to dodge for half the pot. i'd want the nut str8 and a redraw of some sort before i'd go crazy in a hand like this. anyway, interesting hand.
