Default Re: Folding the nut low

Folding the nut low on the end is probably not a good idea at low limit Omaha/8. If you start to play pot limit, you should be folding dry nut lows and draws to dry nut lows quite often. Having just the nut low can be a tenuous situation, however, with 4 players in, you are still breaking even on every bet to call and so should continue with your low to get your quarter of the money already in the pot.

At the low limits, often you are cutting up a worse low and the nut high will almost always be betting and raising, so folding can be terrible. If the nut high is a straight, I am much more likely to raise with my nut low, because often you will be quartering 2 high hands if it is bet and raised in front of you. Most low limit players know that being quartered is bad and will play carefully with strong lows while not realizing that a nut high straight is just as easy to get quartered as a nut low.
