PLO8 - First time ever and couldn\'t even show it
 
First time in 16,000 hands and I couldn't even play it to SD. This was the first hand I was dealt at the table and I had no read or PT data on the bettor. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I potted preflop, 1 caller, he pots the flop, I call (probably should have potted back), he pots turn, I fold

Life sucks.

I have only had AA23 ds 1 time, but I was playing Omaha Hi. I have only had AAKK ds once and I was playing PLO8.

So the preflop raiser or the caller potted the flop?

Now you've got your chance.

Nice fold on the turn.

At least you had a chance. I've only been dealt it once. I raised and everyone folded.

I would've raised the flop, and I would've called the turn bet.

I sort of like this advice since you couldn't be counterfeited.
I usually play O8 limit so I don't really know the possiblities that he could have been bluffing you since you showed weakness by only calling his flop bet.
Also, perhaps he had a set of J's - and if another A came that would have beaten those.

There's no reasonable option other than raising the flop. I think you folded the best hand on the turn most of the time. If you had bet the flop and got raised, it's a little trickier (assuming deeper stacks than these). Sorry, man, first time you got it and you misplayed it pretty badly.

Most of the time when I get this hand, I raise preflop and everyone folds (except for the time I got allin with it preflop against AA26 and split).

Yeah, to really break this down for you, here's the progression of events:

1) You got the best PLO8 hand possible.

2) You misplayed it.

3) You then posted about how you got unlucky.


That's pretty much as bad as it gets. But I got a laugh out of it, so you got that going for you, which is nice.

I was wondering when someone would say this. If you are mentally playing for an audience, you are not playing optimally.
