Hero?

[DRKEVDC]

You have to hit the flop pretty hard in order to win, my feeling is I will pick a different spot to risk a quarter of my chips.

You have to take a certain amount of risk in tournament plo. I would probably play your hand and hope for a flop I can push.

Raise the max.

And all 3 of us could make a case for being right. I will make mine. You are playing for the set/boat/2nd nut flush. With the 50 blind I assume that I am early in the tourney, so drawing to the boat/set does not excite me and drawing to the second nut flush has cost me LOTS of chips in the past, therefore, I would pass.

[TheRempel]

Actually, now that I rethought, I agree with Aces. You can crush a lot of hands here and you're only a 3:2 dog to single suited AAxx (with different suits).My limited tourney experience tells me it's important to build a big stack early in PLO tourneys.
