preflop: good. you could have reraised, but I wouldn't suggest it with only 4 players.

Flop: 1) I wouldn't bet this, you've got the nut low DRAW and a weak 3out gut straight draw which is not the nut straight. The most likely hand someone raises with preflop is a A2xx, in which case you're going to most likely split the low (and thus just feeding the high hand with your raises). And that's assuming a low comes in. If you had no hope at hi I'd say you could fold this here and now, this is one of those don't chase half the pot scenarios, no matter how much you like your hand. Given you have some chance at hi I'd say call for one bet to see the turn. This is check/call. Definately don't 3-bet.

Turn: I agree that you should bet here. Most 8J hands should have folded the flop unless they also had low or flush potential or they had something like 89J in which case they're just dumb and you can't help it. Now you have potential to take 3/4 the pot if a low hits. If CO had raised I would just call.

River: You're out of position. CO's betting up to this point screams A2xx. But here's the catch...there is no low possibilities now. If you bet, he'll most likely fold because he's beat (no need to bet). He might call if he has trips (you win one more bet), or he'll raise if he actually had a boat or quads (unlikely but possible). I'd say he has no hi and you should just check/call. Betting out in this case will cost you more than it will make. If a 4h had hit instead of the 3h, then this is definately a betting situation (now he'll call with his low everytime).

what limit was this? 0.5/1?
