In PLO/8 it's very expensive, to be calling for "just the low." It's usually a looser play, since the object is to win money by making 3/4 or a scoop. With no high you can only hope for getting you money back, unless there was an unusual amount of action pre-flop and the pot is large and most of the other players have folded before it gets back to you. With a bet before you (early position) and players behind you, you can never know what's coming. Throw that looser away and wait for another hand.

Only time I make the play is when I'm nearly busted and ready to quit. I'll get my money in on a small pot and hope my bluff pushes out the one or two players who know there will be no pay-off since I'm "all-in."

I'm amazed at some of the calls I see people make. The the chat window fires up and they bemoan they "bad" luck.
