Default Re: Hi/Lo passive low straight

Interesting hand. My gut tells me to hate the passivity with which you played it (mostly because Seat 1 will often be willing to go to war and end up with aces up/no low at showdown), but with the donk positioned after you throughout the hand I can see keeping him in. I'd want to get at least one raise in *minimum* (and preferably as many as possible) in the hand - 6th looks like a good place - let the donk overcall with his lousy low draw and 4flush.

Upon further review, I've decided that I like playing this fast much better. The small percentage of the time you'll avoid splitting the pot by knocking out the donk makes my gut tell me jam it and be damned. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
