Default Re: PLO8 Hand 1

You didn't checkraise, but limp-reraised preflop. It's terrible. You have pretty weak high chances that are much stronger in a multiway pot. You're worse off once it becomes heads up, often against a hand that has you as close to dominated as you can get. If Villain cannot fold easily (i.e. $25 PLO/8), the raise is atrocious.

EP held relative junk, but look what happened when you checkraised:

cards EV
4s Kc Ad 5d 0.563
6s Ac 2c 4h 0.437

You make the most money from Villain when he chases you down in a multiway pot, when you flop well.

You don't have anything on the flop. Against another nut low you're usually way behind. Against a king you're not in great shape either. I really really hate the flop raise - any caller has you at least beaten for high. You just put your stack in as a 62/38 dog, but if Villain has A2 instead of A4 (quite reasonable), you're 3:1 behind.

Nice suckout.
