Honest_Rob

No reason to raise preflop right? Even though I have the nut low I just called the raise on the flop hoping to encourage the other two players to call also. Since I'm pretty much looking at only half the pot I want as many people in as possible right? Thoughts?

Absolutely fine as played, unless you think you can get a bet out of one of the villains after the river to check/raise... You want to keep lots of people in to build the pot as much as you can. Lows are easily counterfeited anyway, unless you have backup low cards, so no need to overinvest yourself. Once you're made at the end and HU, you can try to push a villain off an unsure high, but in limit this rarely applies and certainly not 3 or 4 handed.
Nice hand.

I probably check the river. Its possible someone else might have the nut low and is afraid of getting quartered, and not showing any aggression. Its also quite probably that someone is folding that river who was on a draw or who is scared of those last two kings, in which case there is only 1 other person to split the pot with.

As played is fine, but I will regularly raise this here for value preflop also(PLO8 alot less likely). It's a very strong scoop hand w/the suited ace, 3 wheel cards w/an A2 and a Q.

If alot of people have limped in any hand before I act, and I have a couple of nut draws, I like to build a pot. No one is showing any real strength and most flops(aside from a few paired board situations) will be well within your hand drawing range, making post draw play even simpler. If you miss completely, you lost only an additonal 3/4 big bet.
Also, if you do end up getting quartered, often the dead money left in the pot will offset the loss from later streets.

With only a back door flush draw/straight draw on such a heavily coordinated flop, I like your lead out/smooth call on the low.

This hand should've helped in putting ranges on your opponents. Nut peddling these types of players is ideal. TAG it for sure.

Seems pretty typical play.

Not a situation that is either liked or disliked, standard play. Forum worthy play? Still wondering.
