Should I fold preflop? Even if your answer is yes considering I made the call what about play on later streets.

I'm not an OH8 guru by any stretch of the imagination, but I don't think this is the kind of hand I'd play at all. Your flush is unlikely to be good if you hit it. You're essentially looking to nail a small straight and if that doesn't pan out, you might get 1/2 the pot for a low if you're fortunate.

As it played out, the check on the flop is obviously fine. I likely would have folded on the turn. Bottom two pair in HE isn't a great hand 6 ways. It's even worse in OH8, so again you're only hoping for 1/2 the pot on a lucky low.

Preflop is fine IMO, I like these hands. You have 3 to a wheel and double suited and when you make the low(w/32 being 3rd best low) it's often unique. As far as the postflop, I'd consider folding the turn.

With your hand you want an ace on the flop or turn to even consider continuing. On the turn, granted you have 2pr(unfortunately bottom) and the flush draw(backing into w/low cards is always better than drawing into it w/lows) but you are likely behind for high and low. Realistically you are drawing to a non club 5 or any ace(which is probably case or at most 1 of 2).

If a 5 had fallen on the turn,it would've put you in a much better spot to continue or even better, raise here. If an ace had fallen, especially of clubs, I'd also consider a raise.

Thanks for the input. I didn't call the turn because I had two pair. I called because I had two pair with a bad flush/straight/low draw and a 6 or 2 gives me a boat. Marginal but that's why I called.
