PLO8, Nut low + 2 pair on monotone board

My thinking was that I had two pair and the nut low, hopefully I would be up against either the flush or another nut low, but not both. If my hope comes true, I would be in good shape, with either a freeroll to a fullhouse or a good hand for getting 3/4s. Are my hopes too optimistic?

MP2 is Wintermute, btw.

If you had gotten two callers on the flop, then you might worry that you are going to get quartered for sure. But in that case, getting quartered wouldn't be so horrible since it's a three-way pot.

Getting just one caller, you have to like your chances with two pair, and you're definitely pot-committed with a nut low and reasonable high hand. That turn is a little ugly, but I'd play your hand the same way.

I wouldn’t go up against guys who are able to get hot chicks to get naked for pictures. Their mojo is too strong.

And the hand looks pretty standard to me. AirHumpy could have lots of boatish or nutflush hands you tie with, and could have folded some weaker flushes there.
