im actually proud of myself for not tilt raising river.folding was mature

Same villain in both hands. Probably not 100% au fait with the "low" aspect of lowball. He's probably mailing pokerstars support right now saying he got screwed:

I like how in the first hand the BB stands pat with his pair of 6s on the 3rd draw and then calls a bet "no sense in trying to improve. I know my sixes are good enough here."

obv he thinks its a high game

If anybody wants some o8 reviewed feel free to ship me some hands or a video. Just PM me here.

A video would be sick! Any # of tables/players per table - whatever you play!

EPIC! very nice hand

Only way that hand gets better is if you have the Q4 and bet/called for value. Regardless, NH!

villain is from my home country (greece) where lowball games are not played much

it took me a while to realise

Moral of the story: dont try to make fish fold #4, it wont work, ever!

I'd be thinking Nine Hundred Bucks I'm Not Folding. Ever. And I'd be a mega-fish at 30-60.
Did you try this because you'd seen all the threes so he couldn't have a top-three hand? Did you *remember* that you'd seen all the threes (and how - it's not something I keep track of)?
Is his hand ever foldable in this spot?

yes, i knew i had seen all 3's. his 3bet is also a mistake and calling a cap is pretty bad as he only beats spazz spew bluffs like this. i didnt really think he would fold #4 but was targeting the spew 3bet snows and hands like #8 that just decided to 3bet for no reason.
