Hello all! This is a hand I played just a few hours ago and I´d like to hear what you think. Please keep in mind that I´m totally new to PLO/8, just started playing it a few days ago. This is also my 1st hand post so let me know if I did anything wrong.
Party Poker Pot-Limit Omaha/8, $2 BB (10 handed)

UTG+1 ($93)
<font color="#C00000">Hero ($180.2)</font>
MP1 ($96)
MP2 ($74)
MP3 ($232.15)
CO ($100)
Button ($82.65)
<font color="#C00000">SB ($206.28)</font>
<font color="#C00000">BB ($63.35)</font>
UTG ($272.35)
Preflop: Hero is UTG+2 with 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
UTG calls $2, UTG+1 folds, Hero calls $2, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, MP3 folds, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises to $11</font>, Button folds, SB calls $10, BB calls $9, UTG calls $9, Hero calls $9.
Is it ok to call this PFR?
Flop: ($55) 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets $52.25</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB raises to $52.35 (All-In)</font>, UTG folds, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $104.6</font>, CO folds, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises to $195.28 (All-In)</font>, Hero calls $64.60 (All-In).
This is a good flop for me. I was thinking about flat-calling here(perhaps I should have?) At this point I was sure SB was on a flush draw + something like Jx 10x. Had I just called here I would have had to fold to a bet if a [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] fell on the turn, right?
Turn: ($471.83) 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players, 3 all-in)</font>
River: ($471.83) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players, 3 all-in)</font>
Final Pot: $471.83
<font color="#009B00">Main Pot: $212.05, between Hero, SB and BB.</font>
<font color="#009B00">Pot 2: $233.70, between Hero and SB.</font>
<font color="#009B00">Pot 3: $26.08, returned to SB.</font>
Results to follow. All comments greatly appreciated. I find PLO/8 to be a fascinating game and am determined to learn how to play it properly. Is it possible to grasp the concepts of PLO/8 having only played very little OH/PLO?
Best, John
