Default Re: The Low Question...

I quote from SS2 on folding the nut low:

"Nevertheless, it isn't a good idea to fold the made nut low very often. Sometimes it'll seem like your only playing for a quarter but you'll get a pleasant surprise when the other players turn over high hands" A good rule of thumb is that you need 4 people in a pot in order to save yourself from being quartered. Usually two are going for the high and two for the low. While the low can be split 4 ways, usually you'll get your money back (minus rake) at worst, and every once in a while get the second best low to call. If it's less than 4 people in the hand, and I am reasonably certain one has the same low hand, I stick around. This is 10 fold if I also have counterfit protection.
