Ya, it's well known just having a nut low isn't much of a hand in pot limit. And it's not all that great in limit. You need something else to get involved, or at least position so you can possibly try a bluff and hog the entire pot. But that's it, actually--with just the nut low, you're usually playing for only half the pot and that's a no-no in 08.

In PL I think you have to take this advice with a grain of salt. In a short-handed game, naked nut low is often a strong enough hand to take down the whole pot, *especially* when you're OOP. Being first to act, you can lead at the pot for maximum bets and put pressure on weak highs to fold. Occasionally you'll run into another nut low that quarters you, but just as often your naked nut low will turn into a nice high that will 3/4 or scoop the pot.

IMO folks shouldn't begin from the perspective that naked nut low is a danger hand in PLO8; just use reasonable discretion, and it's very strong.

The force in this one is very strong.
