PLO8 Hand Flop Play

[wiseheart]

Beautiful Flop w/this hand, but should I have
played it differently? I didnt Slow-play it,
though I didnt have much to be afraid of except 9's full or someone catching a higher set on the draw. Comments appreciated.

seems pretty straight forward............

What I'm wondering about is why you chose to bet $1 instead of $1.50. It doesn't seem like a big deal, but getting an extra dollar in on the flop will turn into $4 by the river when things work out for you. Trust me, these kind of things will add up big time. Also, by betting the pot as a rule, you'll create an image of some recklessness.

Oh, and on this flop, you have to get as much in as possible.
