Default Re: Folding the nut low

You've gotten some good advice. I won't bore you by repeating what has already been said. I don't get to post as much lately because of chemo screwing up my ability to think clearly.

I will add some little general hints on dealing with the nut low in O8, though.

1) Watch how the hand played out from beginning to end to get a good grasp on how many other players have the A2xx.
2) Look for good opportunities to get many overcalls by simply overcalling yourself in order to make a little money when you get quartered (as opposed to jamming yourself).
3) Any other "outs" that you have can help you from losing money with the nut low.
4) There is often so much in the pot on the river, that it would be foolish to fold the nut low, even if you think you might be getting 1/8.
5) Read Zee's book, then read it again, then memorize it, then type it out, then recite it at a poetry reading, then... I'm sure you get my point. Yes, the A2xx situation has to be adjusted a little bit for today's crazy-loose play, but it is still the most definitive work on the planet, IMO.
