First of all, this is my first real post on the forum (long time reader, first time writer), so greetings and saluations to all you rounders.

I've been playing PLO as my cash game of choice for a while now, and I've been going alright, getting better - but of course, always room for improvement.

My main question is: On the turn, should I push with the reraise (ie. max?) or just call??

As it turns out the river was a blank, but I managed to bluff my way out. Thoughts? Criticism wanted. Ta.

I like the push when the stacksizes are what they are in the hand. This is how i would play it, with the followup bet on the river.

But i should really learn to vary my betsizes.

I like it a lot. Nearly half the deck(if I am counting the outs correctly) is a winner for you, and you can gain river fold equity. I don't see how you can't pot it on the turn, you just have way too many outs, and by potting it there you might be able to get the villian to fold it right there.
