Call for the low pot.

Call, you actually wouldn't lose very much even if you were splitting low after missing high.
V ul if Slide has A2 and is beating you for high.

My guess for hands is that Fuzzy has A2 and Slide has a 6 or an overpair.

How did it run through?

Call.

Sometimes you're going to come out of the pot getting quartered or even sixthed. Other times you're going to scoop. You'll be very unlucky if silo has you dead for hi and is splitting lo for the side pot.

I don't like to raise and force slide out if he only has a 6 or other high , as you will definitely need to hit to have a high here and he only needs A22 to be currently quartering you, a hand where he prob won't be too keen on pushing the river, but will call a pot bet if you should make your str8/flush draw for high.

The times you scoop or split the dead money in the pot are going to make up for the times you get hung drawn and quartered(or sixthed for the main pot in horror cases.)

One of those hands in omaha.8 where you're forced to gamble with i feel.

i pushed if i call i am scared of slime pushing

if i push he is very unlikely to call as he would be scared of getting quartered (unless he has a big big hand)

slime folded fussy had trips no low so i had a free draw to scoop

Don't think Slide had A2, he would have called I am certain.
Fussy's play shows the general standard after all. He must know his bet on turn is giving a freeroll to the obvious low out there with str8 and flush possibilities...how much longer before he bust?
