Ultimate bad beat - having to fold w/ the nuts?!

[Lovesantiques]

This happened at a game called Macintosh - home version of poker where cards can be passed to the next player, and if someone has a pair he has to match the pot (or $5, whichever is lower.) The game is played hi/low.

One player recently was showing trip K's (1 down, followed by 4 up cards - 5 total) when he was dealt a 4th K for a lock hi. Trouble was, there was only $8 in the pot, one opponent going low, and it cost him $10 to match - a guaranteed $1 loss. So he had to fold. Weird, huh?

None of us there had ever seen this one before.

Folding the nuts in ANY game is clearly always wrong.

"Lovesantiques"? Is that because "Lovesstartingcrapthreads" was taken?

[IronFly]

shouldn't he just have to match since the pot is larger than $5? isn't it a split?

If he has a lock for the hi, how on earth is he losing money?
