Re: lo8 simple question
Raising to isolate the better is your best option. You have top two pair and are likely ahead for high unlesss you are up against a set. You must charge the low hands the maximum to draw. If the big blind is betting a high hand and everyone else folds your 27 may take the low half.

Re: lo8 simple question
hey all
thanks for the comments. i thought this situation was marginal but i guess the best play is really clear. a few other questions: what if a low comes on the turn? should I check and call? in the actual hand i did raise the flop and had one coldcaller behind me. Then BB called. The turn came 2c for a board of A6K2 rainbow. Then BB bet again. What do i do here? i think the low draw coming in devalues my hand a lot, but i dont know if i should still try to showdown for 2BBs since the board is still very dry for high possibilities. |

Re: lo8 simple question
I would check and call. You are only playing for half the pot. If you had the best high hand on the flop it is likely that you still do.

Re: lo8 simple question
If you're in a very loose game where a flop raise is unlikely to knock anyone out, do you still raise, or wait until the turn?
How much does pot size affect your decision here? |

Re: lo8 simple question
A call is better on the turn since the duece has come.It's most likely that you have no scoop chances ,& there are no threatening looking draws available to beat you on the high side.Let the player behind you come in with his low or worse high hand.

Re: lo8 simple question
I still raise on the flop. I want to charge the maximum for the low draws to make their hand.
