Ray,

You are certainly correct that I could have minimized my losses by simply checking before the flop. Doing so however, I would have given up the chance to win right away, and the chance to put more money in the pot when I quite likely have the best hand. Do you feel the penalty of playing the hand out of position is sufficient to make raising pre-flop the wrong play?

BTW, in PLO how much side strength does AA need to be wet [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] aces. I would have thought the suited 6s and the 64 straight possibility was enough.

Thanks,
Paul
