Re: .25/.50 LO8 trapped between heavy action on river
Even if your opponents hold hands such that every board pairing, every spade, and every seven or nine give someone else a better high, you still have enough pot equity on the turn (20% or so) that getting more money in 5-handed is OK. But you could also just check/call.
Also, I think raising the flop is fine. You want to give someone holding 9Txx a good reason to fold; likewise getting some backdoor flushes to fold would help. If the board had two of a suit I would just call though.
On the river I call. With four people calling every bet it's entirely possible that someone is jamming with just the nut low (especially at these limits) or with nut low plus non-nut straight (e.g. A259). While you lose most of the time in this spot I think overall calling is still +EV.
