Re: 2/4 Limit O8 hand.
First of all, I wouldn't be in there chasing to get quartered, which is my point for questioning the pre-flop call in a raised pot. I think my comments are only obnoxious to players who chase for 1/2 the pot or call raises substandard values (trying to "get lucky"). Most of the competition I see would kill to have players chasing for 1/2's or 1/4's.

Your low could be good and even your second pair high could be good. There is a high likelihood that one or the other will hold up. This is also very player dependent.

In the hand in question, there just aren't enough times to scoop or 3/4 the competition, short handed, which is the point of playing Omaha 8b. Find players willing to chase for 1/2's and 1/4's, then take their money. My goal in O8b is to win lots of money, not get back part of the money I put in the pot.
