PLO Hand #1 + 1 Brag Hand

[Jorge10]

Ok hadnt posted in a while because I was out of town for the week. Also I didnt really feel like posting hands that reveal some of my plays because everyone keeps saying hi to me on party, which means people would get info from me on these boards if I posted everything, but I figured whatever. Ill show some of my more interesting hands from now one and also because im getting really tired of just reading brag hands, im looking at you ribbo, how about some content? Ok this hand was interesting because of the way I went with it, I know you guys are thinking push, but I dont know if its that easy.

someguy is all-In.
me shows [ 8c, 4d, Kd, Ks ] three of a kind, kings.
someguy shows [ Ad, 8d, As, 6c ] a pair of aces.
someguy shows 7,6,4,2,A for low.
me wins $2.78 from side pot #1 with three of a kind, kings.
me wins $84.52 from the main pot with three of a kind, kings.
someguy wins Lo ($84.52) from the main pot with 7,6,4,2,A.

Heres what I was thinking, he could only have two types of hands to call on the flop, a worst made hand than me or a straight draw of some sort. I had also been picking up a lot of pots on the flop so its not like they thought I always bet with something because well I wasnt always betting with something. This is what I thought, its heads up, if I come out firing and he has just a straight draw since theres two hearts he might dump it, so I figure ill check keep the pot small and gamble. By gamble I mean if he has a straight draw he will just take the free card, if he has a worse made hand he will bet and I can stack him, I figure its 50/50. The reason I did this is because worse case sceneario he takes the free card and wins a small pot from me if he makes the straight, but thats only 20% of the time, 80% of the time he will miss and my kings will be good and if I keep the pot small I can call him down. So I win 80% of the time if he takes the free card.

Also I did consider the possibility of him having hearts and the straight draw, but if thats the case he will bet and I can stack him while I am a favorite. Ok the other situation under which he will bet is when he has a worse made hand and is drawing dead or close to it maybe 1 out if he has a small set. Thats what went through my mind and why I checked. What do you guys think? Agree? Disagree? Any comments are welcomed.
