Re: LO8 - Too Weak?
[ QUOTE ]
I'd call one bet on the flop if closing the action (or if I thought it was very unlikely that someone would raise behind me). But since you're facing two bets I think folding is correct. You have to consider that while you would have odds to continue if your opponents are just betting good draws, this is balanced by the fact that you're basically drawing dead if someone has Q9xx.

Thats all true but you have to find out somehow where you stand. And of course there are some situations where 2nd nuts is worthless (like A6 to 543 board for low) but generally when you play limit 2ns nuts is a damn good hand. And this flop JT8 is pretty much the best I can imagine to have the seond nuts for 3 reasons.
A) No one can have the nuts with any AX combination (on QJT a simple AK combination makes the nuts and its common occurance)
B) The action on turn will be minimall because no low will hit.
C) Its hard to escape for low for someone who had an A high flush draw and mises it.
