A lesson in how not to play PLO against weak opposition.

[Acesover8s]

Party $1-2 PLO game, 1 player here I have played with on the stars 2-4 game, the rest appear to be fishy-wishy. Table is agressive preflop and weak postflop. I am getting nothing in the way of cards and am down to $89.

4 limpers to me and I limp with 7dTdQhAh. 1 limper behind me.

Flop comes 789 with two clubs and one heart. It goes check, check to player 2 before me, who min-bets $2. Everyone calls.

Turn is a 6 of hearts, giving me the second nut straight and the nut heart redraw. Betting pattern is the same as before, I raise the min-bet to $20, figuring if someone is slowplaying the nuts they'll reraise right here and I can let it go, but I also need to protect my fragile little straight here. Get two callers prior to me.

River pairs the 6. Checked to me, I wise up and check back. First player shows TJ for the flopped (and never bet) nut straight.

This is why I lose on this site, this is why it is no fun to play there, but my grandmother could make $500 a night playing like a sissy there.
