Monteroy;163913 wroteThe lack of low protection is what did it for me, because part of what made this tempting was that post flop 5 and 6 way all ins were fairly common at this table, so there was a pretty good chance a couple of people were playing flush draws (any flush draw) straight draws, two pairs, you name it, and I might end up ahead even splitting a low draw (depending on which other player had A3).
A more interesting situation would have been a 764 flop with A23 (and no high draw of value) in that same spot with 5 or 6 expected to go all in. I think a call is worthwhile as even if it remains that A2 is the nut low the chances are that an A or a 2 make it a lot better for me.
Agreed, with A-2-3 on the board is 7-6-4 this would be a better spot to go, and then you are looking for a 5 of high card to hit on the turn. This would totally protect you hand with no chance of losing the low. An Ace on the river would be good to just to ensure that you have the low busting all the A-2, A-3 lows as well.
I got to make a note not to play PLOH/L with you….in a hand like that and I have the high I want every one putting all their money in with only the low.
