    Your starting hand is similar to 72o in hold'em. Please please please fold that garbage preflop, unless you're playing against me.

    He is right. Im not an expert on Hi Low but from i do know you wanna start with hands you can make both nuts in. Such as starting with AA23 single or double suited or AK23 single or double suited you need some low cards so that way u can hit the flop for half the pot two ways.

    Fold preflop, raise flop.

    Only coming in off the button for odds. Hit or fold. I hit and then get run out for the high and get someone drawing to half on a reraise? Like he cannot hit anything but the 6 for the high UGGH! Unmade low draw to river on one pull?

    You can't "come in off the button for odds" here for the reason that so many flops that you can "hit" with this hand will still lose or split at best. This is 100% of the time a fold preflop. Even on that flop more often than not (though not in this case, but that's being results oriented) the player leading at the pot either is already ahead of your bottom set or has a wraparound straight draw.
