Sorry, didn't miss it but forgot about it.
My thoughts was to trying to further reduce the field. However, looking at it now, I see that I have the worse position, and had Psycho flat called, other players would have probably called as well.
However, what is exactly our plan when we are this short?
In cash stud hi/lo I'll play this hand real slow if at all. (well, I'll probably play it, but wont be thrill about it)
Is 3 babies really that better then a good high card HU? How often do 3 babies complete a low?
Any body as any statistics about this?
My feelings (no real fact to actually support this) is that a big starting hand has just as good chance to scope against 1 players with babies...

The thing is, when someone has called it's going to be difficult to get them out the pot, so you are probably already going to be playing this pot 3 handed (Ok you actually didn't but usually you will). Also, If someone has any decent low draw which can scoop they should be calling for 2 bets anyway, so the field you are thinning is probably weaker pairs, 8 draws and some 7 draws.
That's why I would just call it.
3 babies that either have an A or loosely connected versus kings is almost a coin flip heads up.
Kings v a bad low (842) is a 60/40
Against two players that have low draws your equity is 36% and goes down to around 30% if they both catch good and you catch bad. If one of the lows has scoop potential then you are really in trouble.
You don't want to pump a pot that you will probably only get half of or lose and this is the case because there are so many good cards your opponent(s) can catch which weakens your odds.
