Price the half before calling

If you can only win low and it's often chopped, and high is dead, your share can be ~25%. Big bets for that share are often trash.

Full bets for half pots need a freeroll or a great price. 'I still have a low' is not pricing.

'Price the half before calling' (stud hi-lo, G2): Stud hi-lo: scooping and freerolling beat split-hope. Qualifying lows matter — know whether an 8-low qualifies in your game.
