Re: L08 - got jammed w/the nuts
[ QUOTE ]
A fold should be considered on the flop. You have the nut straight. In Omaha/8 small and medium straights (with nothing else) are often money losers. You are playing only for half the pot as you have no low. You have to dodge full houses, flushes and bigger straights to win high. With a straight you will often be sharing the high side.

QFT
I had this situation about 2 weeks ago. In the BB, I had 67xxr flop comes 589 with 2 hearts. Check-folded because the action was 8-way and I didn't want to get in a situation where I had to dodge 20 or more cards twice. Plus with the low draw potential, chances were I was only going to get half the pot. I can get my money in in better situations.
