Re: PLO8 -- who plays bad?

I think the "two blockers" mentality is a trap. When I favor analysis like "two blockers" over my read on the players and betting I usually get slammed.

That right there is a great reply.
Heres the thing, its nice the two blockers thing is going on, but you cant be blinded to the betting patterns and what is going on before your eyes because you have "blockers". A guy bet out, he got raised, then a third guy came over the top and reraised him. If that doesnt say I got the straight plus a damn good redraw, I really dont know how else he can say it. How about he types it in on the chat box?
The fact that the other guy just called him says he is weak, but heres the problem you dont have the nuts and you know the other guy who is all in has a monster, so why not fold and let the guy who just called him try and deal with him. In this spot you will run into the nut straight every single time and all you are really hoping for is that the queen high flush draw comes, but even then who knows if thats good.
