O8
On this hand I chicken out and go the other direction, calling behind with the nut low on the river. It was an A2 nut low, though, and I feared the guy who led out had it also. Mistake? Should you accept quarterings when they happen and bet nut lows to the max?
Lost a hand I didn't snag in time with a n00b call on the river that cost me my sugar.
Moved to a fuller table
$18 --> $15.40
39 Hands over three tables
Basically happy with my O8 play this session given where I'm at with the game. Made that one n00b call, but played tight, Martin-style Hi-Lo overall and just failed to catch, but didn’t make any huge mistakes.

Great low starting hand, not so great flop for it. No problem with anything up to the turn. I don't play enough O8 online to know but when a second low comes on board and betting starts I would worry that someone is building the pot to take a low. The Seven was connected too and as it turns out that was the reason for the bet. Overall, I think that you enjoy a healthy edge over the average player with your hand selection and if you are aiming for a low, it is unlikely that the average player is going to have as good a low as you unless they luckbox into it. Since you are getting three way action I think investing in the nut low after you get it is totally reasonable. In fact I would go ahead and pump it since it is multiway. Heads up there would be no reason to.
