You should pot the turn to either stop players chasing low so you can scoop it or to make them pay to see the river.

calling preflop and not potting it on the turn were two pretty major mistakes.

why would you want to give your opponents a cheap shot at a low?

OK. The pot is really small on the turn. Winning half of a large river pot seems better than winning all of a small turn pot. (I just realized that this is true only when I'm putting less than 1/2 of the money in on 5th street).

I though at least one of the first two players was going for low and that the Turn raiser had some inferior high that would pay me off.
