Default Re: PLO 100 - Help! I think I have a extremely big leak here.. (flop play)

I never advocated check raising in this spot. If you had the nut flush draw with the wrap, then a check-raise would be a good play IMO. As is, I dont reccomend a check raise.

There's nothing wrong with a check call on this flop OOP against a tight player. He'd be more than obliged to play all-in with you if he does have QQQ or even 10-10-10, and his bet on the flop signifies that type of a hand. Of course this is all in hindsight, and many players will play this hand just as the OP did, but IMO check calling and peeling one off here cheap with a semi-strong draw is the correct play, and missing the turn then becomes an easy fold. I dont like check calling very often in Hold'em, because in the long term it is not a profitable practice, however, given the complexity of PLO, it is a more profitable strategy when employed in spots like this.
