Re: [PLO8] I play retarded, comments on river?
Thanks for the replies!
Reading through them made me realise what my intuition was telling me: that I should call the river.
My thought process was like this:
1) He bet pot and a low is possible! I'm only playing for half the pot, so I need a great chance of winning half to call.
2) A full house is possible. He wouldn't be betting a worse hand for value.
3) Therefore, fold.
When playing, I did think of the following piece of information:
4) What possible full house could he have, given that he checked the turn? The only likely one is 66. His most likely hand for high is trip jacks.
Your comments made me realise number 5:
5) He would need all four cards to work together to scoop, since my 78 also gives me an emergency low. So if he did have a freak holding like JJ or 44 or J4, he would need two other low cards to scoop, or otherwise I would win low.
At the table, my thinking progressed to #4, and I folded, going against my gut feeling. If I managed to go to #5 I would have called.
Agreed on potting turn.
