I didn't play this hand, but I'm curious about seat 2's check-call on 4th.

Seat 2 ended up going to the showdown. His hole cards at the end were J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. I'm curious what the apporpriate play would be for the three possible combinations.
1) (4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]) 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] - I would think that this hand is worth pursuing a farther as the low is better than 85 and the pair is possibly putting him ahead for high. In fact, this hand might be worth betting instead of checking.
2) (J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]) 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] - This hand seems like it should be a fold. It's a very weak one way hand in a small pot against a low hand. This is a situation which should be avoided.
3) (J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]) 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] - I don't know what to do with this hand. I guess I would fold because the pot is small, but it would not be a very confident fold.
So if I'm right, there's no way that seat 2 could have played this hand correctly...
