Of course I take the discount into account when deciding to call from the bring-in. If Deuces were live, I couldn't get my money in fast enough, but they're not. With the Deuce gone, it's more than 40:1 against making trips on fourth. Anything else is going to be harder to play. Obviously, catching an Ace would be good, but that would leave you out of position for the rest of the hand, and if the low hands develop strongly, you may wish you hadn't been in there.

If you catch a banana, you'll have to fold to a bet. A good chunk of the time, you're going to catch something small, giving you a three-card low against likely four-card lows. This is a reverse implied odds situation and it negates those supposed 8:1 odds on third street. This situation will come up far more often than you'll make a high hand you like. This hand is a playing loser.
