I'm dealt a 9 low Badugi 4-handed, so I'm raising pre-draw, and betting after the 1st draw. After the 2nd draw, I get check raised, so it appears that I'm either beat, or he's testing to see how low I am. I've seen guys do this with worse Badugis that 9-low, because I may be standing pat pre-draw with worse ones.

I think there may be an argument for folding or calling down without drawing. I don't think I can call and draw to anything here, so I think I have to decide whether or not I want to show down 983A.

Your thoughts?

I'm ck/calling this down. Don't bother trying to break it as you're only drawing to an 8 which in this instance is basically the same as the pat 9.

There's no way I'm considering breaking this up, but is folding outright to the 2nd draw riase an option, or is it basically a must to call down and note what the villian has?

I can't imagine folding it at this time. Especially if he's raising T's and J's.
