Default Re: learning PLO8--400 hand

First off you're preflop play was very weak, esp. in PL O/8. You should make a sizeable raise with this hand in EP. You will probably get it 3 way or heads up if you do, thus strengthening your hand and getting a read on your opponents hands. You then miss the flop, but do have the nut low, a 6 high straight and a backdoor flush Draw, but the last two can't be given too much credence unless you're heads up. Most likely the 3 is out and will fill up. The problem being in EP is that you have no idea who will call behind if the bet comes before you. Now you are calling for a possible 1/2 the pot with bad probable odds. Best play here is probably to just muck it on the flop (without knowing the other players in the hand). Just keep in mind when playing a hand in EP in a PL game, you are at the disadvantage unless you flop the nuts . Hope this helps...
