This O8 play cost me my stack

[Scotty O]

I would muck this hand pre-flop. U r looking for A3 to come. If you hit your 2 kiss any low goodbye and now you are playing for half more than likely. Muck this hand

Maybe from the button I would call with this hand, but otherwise it is a very easy (pre-flop) fold.

Muck that cheese preflop.

Peace,

A lot of the advice from people who say to stay with the hand really works better for a limit game, where there is less downside. At pot limit, you don't want to get involved in a situation where you are either a small or medium favorite, or a huge dog, and that is what you have here. If you are up against one eight you are a favorite, but not by a huge amount, if up against two then you probably are going to lose, and are limited to one out if someone already has the full house. Even at PLO high only there are better situations, and I probably would muck this hand against any opposition. Also, if you are going to play it at PLO8, why raise? You are losing a significant source of money, which is multiple people drawing to lows. I don't like the call pf, and wouldn't pursue it at the flop, and if I had I wouldn't have raised.
