Re: PLO 200 - top set out of position

Even if the money was very deep, I would still pot this particular turn card.

The biggest issue here that I see is whether by potting this you are putting yourself well past the point of commitment or well before it.
With deep money, you might be able to pot this but still have enough behind that mucking to a huge reraise or to an obviously bad river card could make sense. I.e., you could still be in control of the next decision.
In the case presented however, you are shoving to a point where the next decision is easy in that it is essentially out of your hands. Thats fine also. So I'd pot this turn as well.
But if you both had 300-500 on this particular hand, would you want to make a full pot size bet on the turn? I'd hate to be flat called, see a blank on the river, and be left wondering with 1/2-2/3 of my stack behind whether that 3 hit him. So I think in some circumstances there is a case to be made for betting less if by doing so you leave yourself in control of the next decision.
