Re: Getting quartered or worse in PLO8
Because it is four way and the stack sizes are presumably close (please include stack sizes for Pot-limit hands), you're generally not losing money here, although you'd be in a much better spot with counterfeit protection of some sort. As played, any ace or deuce on the river would likely be disastrous for you.
Since it is early in an MTT, it is likely that many of the players in the hand have a similar PLO8 skill set to yours. Even the newest noob understands that A2 makes the nut low, but the novice is more likely to hang out with A3 and a prayer for a deuce to fall, or three highs fighting it out.
If you got sextupled or octivated, that's just bad luck and not the standard story. If you got quartered, did you actually lose any chips here?
