This is a repost of a question I asked below but got no replies. Again, apologies for boring you!
$1 big blind PLO game on Paradise. Most stacks in the $75-150 range.
I have J467 in the big blind and see a free flop, five-handed or so, of J45, two diamonds.
With two pair and a straight draw, I bet the pot and get one caller. I have no diamonds.
Was that a mistake?
Fourth card is an offsuit 8, making me the nut straight. I bet the pot, and he calls again.
Last card comes a non-pairing diamond. There is enough money left for a single pot-size bet.
What should I do? What about if the river had been a pairing non-diamond card? Or a diamond which paired the board?
Many thanks for any replies!
