I know PF is meh but with the pot odds I was basically playing it to hit A2 and and only A2. I figured the nut low with 34 would be hidden enough that the risk of being quartered would be greatly reduced.
The part of the hand I'm mainly concerned about is the turn. With the board pairing there, especially an Ace, my chances of taking the high if I hit a straight is diminished, which increases the likelihood that I'm playing for half. Suppose I check the turn, BB pots it, and Button pot-raises - could you fold the nut low there assuming that you're only playing for half and there is a small risk of getting quartered?
As for the rake, I hadn't considered that when I switched games. I was playing .25-.50 Stud-8 and then .25-.50 LO8 to clear bonus, but when I got frustrated with both I decided to try PLO8 again. Since I'm not rolled to play PLO8 at higher stakes, I'm stuck. That being said, wouldn't the benefit of rakeback offset the higher rake on FT?
YES...even with two players in the pot you are most likely playing for half and getting less than 2:1 on the amount you need to put in compared to the payoff. That's not even factoring in the chance of getting quartered
