i call here with players behind not knowing if they're coming for the ride. if they are, then all the better. you have some counterfeit protection and draws at a scoop. gamble it up a little bit.

i agree with this if you either don't know enough about the others in or you know they're loose enough to call marginal hands behind. keep in mind that a four is a huge card for you and even if you're freerolling only 1/4 of the pot, it makes that gutshot 6/wheel a much bigger hand than it seems. on an all low board, it's not unlikely that a king gives you 3/4 as well.if i have info leading me to think they're tight, i fold the flop. your low "freeroll" (not technically a freeroll, but yeah) is much stronger 3-4 way since 3 in really makes a 1/4 situation hurt less, and a 1/4 in a 4-way pot is breakeven. the high draw is thin, so you want as many people in as possible.

I made a big logic mistake then.The reason i folded was ; i was pretty sure UTG+1 had A2. He was raising whenever he has A2. I folded because i knew he was calling or raising and i didn't wanna chop the low with him since i couldn't see my chance to take the high pot.

if there's four players, then chopping the low is +EV. if he has A2 you may get half if an A or a 2 comes and you might already be freerolling (UTG+1 might have a naked AA).eventually you'll see situations where it's idiotic to continue w/ a naked nut low and situations where it's profitable.

In general, it's really ok to call with four players in the pot. With 3 players it' ok to fold.

Good thought process, Bud. Getting used to folding the naked one-way nuts is one of the hardest things for new PLO8 players to do.As the others have said, this was probably playable, especially because the other 2 were pretty short-stacked.

How can you say that with 4 players you will have a +EV .What happens when you have all4 players with A2 and 1 of them has the high also ? and how about even 3 of them have A2?I know the chances are slim But latley I have seen both of these situations arise. AM i not calculatingproperly or what am I missing. He knows that the 1 player has A2 from his past betting amd I thinkbeing UTG this is a good fold. Correct me If I am wrong. I meen say you have a $40 Poton the river and 3 players have the A2 and the Hi isnt a Wheel with 4 players in the Pot ? you get $6.50afetr Betting $10. Again this is slim but something to think about especially deep in a tourney

what we're saying is that in a 4 way pot if you have even a remote chance at the high (like even worse than a gutshot in some cases), you're much better off getting the money in than folding. the times you get 1/6ed four way are really really really rare, much more rare than the times you catch up for the high and scoop or get 5/6, etc. hence, +EV.

almost never ever be afraid to get in in four ways with just the nut low.

I didnt read it good enough and yes if you have the shot at the hi I agreewith you on that. TY
