Default Re: Slow Play? #1 (PLO8)

That's a [censored] horrible spot to check. There are a mega bazillion draws out there, some of which will pay you now but not on a board pairing or high river, all of which you're giving a free card to. Only check raise in these spots when you're 100% certain someone will bet. That usually only happens when you're up against a maniac, a preflop raiser following through on the flop, or a nice coordinated board for which you hold the nuts.

On the river make it $5 and pray someone has something to raise you with. It's a pretty [censored] board for most hands, there are no straights, no flushes, no lows...
