Now, my question isn't really about the hand in general, but how I should be playing PLO 8/b. I am a thin winning player (about 3.5bb/100) and I have a lot of experience in Stud 8/b. My PTO stats over 5000 hands are VP$IP 20.9, PFR 3.8, and TOTAGRO 2.48. I feel as though I should be playing more hands, because all the successful PLO 8/b players I see that are big winners in my PTO database are around 30 VPIP.

On this hand, did I not bet enough? Should I not have called the river? I'll start posting more hands to get an idea of where I'm at. I appreciate all the help!
