Poor Bossman. You gotta play for a scoop, but also have a nut hand.

*** TURN *** [3s 8c Kc] [2s](Jackpot. I'm definitly got low. Since it's less likely someone's going to play A-4 than A-2 I've hit a monster card)
Bender2006 bets $4
OMAHABOSSMAN calls $4
thegooch154 raises to $8
Bender2006 calls $4(My only mistake I feel in this hand. I should have probably trapped the caller and freerolled for a 5 to take down the whole pot.)

Bender2006 checks
OMAHABOSSMAN checks

Bender2006 calls $4(Again I should have bet, I have trips now and still have the nut low. However a call won't scare off bossman. It won't make sense though for gooch and I to go to war if Gooch has High and I've got low)
OMAHABOSSMAN calls $4

Generally I like having nuts one direction or another in multiway pots. The goal is to scoop, but get something. Generally just nut high won't get you quartered, and hidden nut lows like my A-4 won't get you quartered either. Play the nuts, and you'll see the difference.
