Carlos,

I'm not sure that I would have played it much differently, but if you felt the table was this tight...you might want to put in a half pot bet or find a better table.

I might have check-raised the turn. You'd look like a A2 who made a continuation bet and missed. Depends on opponents.

Re: New to PLO/8, first post
 

I'd bet something small enough on the turn that another low draw and maybe non-nut flushes would come along, like $2. If you make the low on the river, you pot it. It's a higher variance play since the river could pair the board, but life is short and you want to get rich sooner rather than later.

Also, you want to pot the flop. Some would pot it preflop but that's a style issue. There are winning players that limp all the time; they don't get the girls, but they still get the money.
