Friend\'s Hand... $25 PLO8
My friend asked me this question. We're learning the game simultaneously. I'll post his question and what my thoughts were. Please let me know if I'm way off...

I limp in with the following hand: As 2s Jd 10h. The flop comes 9s 7s Qd giving me the nut flush draw and an open ended straight draw. I bet about 3/4 of the pot and get reraised the size of the pot. What now?

I told him that the most LIKELY hands that a good player would have that would reraise him was a set or 2 pair with a wrap draw (9-10-J-Q) or a large wrap (8-10-J-K)
I figured... in either case, he still has a very good draw... 8 spades which don't pair the board gives him the nutflush, 6 more outs give him the nut straight. Furthermore (and I don't know what the numbers are... but he's got a decent backdoor low draw)....
My take was that he wants to go on. I said where I was unsure was whether to call the reraise or to push.
Please let me know how he should play this hand and why. Thanks.
