Default Re: Chase the low draw?

Flop is a call IMO getting 8:1.

Tex - But he's not getting 8 to 1.

He's only (realistically) playing for half the pot after this flop and since he needs two favorable cards, assuming the turn is favorable, he'll have to call another bet on the turn. That considered, I think he's getting no more than 3 to 1 implied pot odds for his portion of the pot. Meanwhile the odds against his making a winning low are in the neighborhood of 4 to 1.

Thus he truly does not have favorable odds to chase.
