Re: PLO8 - First time ever and couldn\'t even show it
He bet the flop; you should have RAISED the flop. If he had a great hand, he might have RE-RAISED. You can't raise before anyone bets, and you can't re-raise before anyone raises.

Re: PLO8 - First time ever and couldn\'t even show it
There's no reasonable option other than raising the flop. I think you folded the best hand on the turn most of the time. If you had bet the flop and got raised, it's a little trickier (assuming deeper stacks than these). Sorry, man, first time you got it and you misplayed it pretty badly.
Most of the time when I get this hand, I raise preflop and everyone folds (except for the time I got allin with it preflop against AA26 and split).

Re: PLO8 - First time ever and couldn\'t even show it
Yeah, to really break this down for you, here's the progression of events:
1) You got the best PLO8 hand possible. 2) You misplayed it. 3) You then posted about how you got unlucky. That's pretty much as bad as it gets. But I got a laugh out of it, so you got that going for you, which is nice.

Re: PLO8 - First time ever and couldn\'t even show it
I was wondering when someone would say this. If you are mentally playing for an audience, you are not playing optimally.

[/ QUOTE ] No I wasn't playing for an audience but it was kind of like having a Royal but not showing it; I'm slightly more disciplined with my money. True, I lost money but I'm working on the assumption that I saved money by folding.

The EV that you lose through making poor folds when your equity justifies otherwise is just as bad as the EV lost through making bad bets/calls/raises. Edit: Perhaps the EV lost through bad folds is even worse when also considering metagame implications.

3) You then posted about how you got unlucky. [/ QUOTE ] It could be interpreted this way but it wasn't my goal. I was happy just to get the hand. Would have been nice if I won with it but no big deal. I'm more interested in the thoughts on the play which are pretty negative. What would you put the bettor on out of curiousity? [ QUOTE ] That's pretty much as bad as it gets. But I got a laugh out of it, so you got that going for you, which is nice. [/ QUOTE ] At least it wasn't a wothless post then.
