Another .5/1 LO8 question (full house 6-way, force out low draws?)

Gimp - It's really very close if you have very strong opponents.

What it boils down to is how your raise will affect the players who have already checked. If they would have called a single bet but will fold to a double bet, then the raise is a bad idea. But if they're going to call a double bet, or if they would have folded to the single bet anyhow, then the raise is a good idea.

You just have to judge how they'll react for yourself. I think someone with a good low draw plus a straight draw might call either a single or a double bet. Hey, after reading your last post, I think they'll all call the double bet.

There's more. Suppose one of the limpers has a pair of kings plus a low draw. Now if a king comes on the river, you're screwed. Do you want the guy with the pair of kings plus a low draw to have a cheap shot at beating you? The point is your hand is very strong, but not a cinch, and could use protection.

If these are the same opponents as in your last post, I think a raise is probably your best move here.
