short handed omaha8

[Gooch]

just wondering would you raise with any 3 low cards in heads up omaha8 that isnt paired up? why or why not?

To win you'll need to scoop or win high when there's no low. To scoop with 3 low cards you'd probably need a straight, so I would think you'd want your low cards together (rather than any 3).

Assuming you're raising for value, I think you'd rather have two low cards than three, with one of them being an ace. Something like A3KK or A2JQ. This way there's a decent chance your cards will work both ways.
