Three limps to me in the big blind with a terrible hand. I check, flop pairs three of my crappy cards, but brings possibility of a straight and two to a low and I have no decent low draw. Check and easy muck to a bet?

Recently, I've gotten a ton of 3 and 4 pair hands playing Limit O8. Don't think I won a single one of them. Try to see the turn and river as cheap a spossbile, hoping to fill up, as two pair doesn't win shyte at this game, especially when you have no low to speak of. 8)

so you have the dreaded three pair, eh?
on a two-low board with some straight draws, it's a pretty easy check/fold.
so, you have 6 outs to fill up. but about 1/2 of the time after you fill up, a low card will come. so 1/2 the time, you get 1/2 the pot, so mathematically then you only have 4.5 partial outs.
that's like chasing a gutshot. you might peel one off the flop if you're closing the action and whatnot, but usually it's a check/fold...
