Default Re: 2, 3 for low - consensus

This does happen alot where I play. Someone we both know just told me the other day that you should hold "any two low cards" because they just might make a low. What prompted this post was the fact that I folded:
2,3,8,8 rainbow (meanwhile thinking about all the "advice" regarding 2,3 I've been hearing lately). It was a kill pot and had been raised twice by the time it got to me, so it would have been $18.00 to call, and it got capped after me. I folded, and of course the flop was:
3,3,3
It was a huge pot, and though it was a freak flop, I thought I'd just see what others think of 2,3.

Man, that is also why I never fold 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. You never know when the flop will come 666,KKK,222,888, or 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].

Seriously, you fold trash hands because they hit fewer flops than better hands not because they never hit flops. You don't want to pay a high price with a hand that is less likely to win money. 2388 is a clear fold to a bet and raise preflop.
