Default PLO8, Nut flush + backdoor low draws


Do you play this flop? I was on the border but finally opted to call, hoping others might trail in behind. If no one did come in, I figured (because of his shortstack) I'd at least get to see both cards.

$400 PL Omaha Hi/Lo
Hero ( $684.30 ), CO ( $396.75 ), UTG+1 ( $63.30 ),
BUT ( $171.90 ), UTG ( $127.85 ), MP1 ( $294 ),
MP2 ( $386.80 ), UTG+2 ( $184.80 ), SB ( $396 )

Hero is BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

SB posts $2.
Hero posts $4.
UTG calls $4, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+2 calls $4, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>,
CO calls $4, BUT calls $4, SB raises $13,
Hero calls $11, UTG calls $11, UTG+2 calls $11,
CO calls $11, BUT calls $11

<font color="blue">Flop</font>: (87.00) 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
SB checks, Hero checks, UTG checks, UTG+2 checks,
CO checks, BUT bets $87, SB folds,
Hero calls $87, UTG folds, UTG+2 folds,
CO folds

<font color="blue">Turn</font>: (261.00) K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
Hero bets $261, BUT is all-In $69.90

<font color="blue">River</font>: (591.90) K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]


Results in white below:
<font color="#FFFFFF">
Hero shows Kc, As, 7s, 2h a flush, ace high.
BUT shows Jh, Ts, 5c, Jc a full house, Jacks full of kings.

Hero wins $191.10 from side pot #1 with a flush, ace high.
BUT wins $400.80 from the main pot with a full house, Jacks full of kings.
There was no qualifying low hand.

Default Re: PLO8, Nut flush + backdoor low draws

Looks OK to me. Admittedly, short stacked opponent + nut flush draw = my kryptonite. But against anything other than a set, I think you're not making an EV mistake (a major one, anyway)... opponent having two pair, wrap, etc are all close enough to a coinflip to make this an OK move given he's shortstacked.

The possibility of getting other money into the pot as well makes this the right move IMO.
