Default Re: hi/lo; reckless? or does this ever actually work?

can this fall into the same sort of category as a bet fold in LHE, or is that just spew in this form?

Bet/fold is a bad idea in stud h/l when the raise could easily come from a made low; you have to be sure that your opponent has a one way hand (which is pretty much only when they have 3+ high cards up) to bet/fold.

Also, there's no point in bet/fold when the same hands that would call are better than yours and you would beat the hands that fold. In stud h/l, you also run the risk of getting raised by a low hand, even when the two small pair that beats you wouldn't raise. Finally, bet/folding on the river encourages people to bet at you without a good hand, and I really hate that.
