obviously i get crushed, but i feel like i play too passive when playing PLO.....if your not re-raising pot here do you change your mind if the flush draw is not out there?

Without reading the results I am saying fold pre. This hand is weak and barely coordinated. You have chips, no need to mess around here, just muck this. As played on the flop I check/fold to a pot sized bet. The flush draw which we have no part of is too much to outrun. In Omaha, don't chase flushes with a pair on the board. The same goes for drawing to straights with a flush draw on the board. If you don't do these 2 things you will save a lot of headaches. If you can, try to check the flop and get a free card. You pretty much fold to everything but a min-bet on this flop.

Basically I think this hand fell apart the second that you decided to play it. Limping a weak hand with little going for it unless you hit a perfect flop. You did not get a perfect flop, you got a bad flop, and kept going. This hand was an easy muck pre.

@ Powda

I hate to be the devils advocate here, but did you notice that this was three handed?

I think your advice makes perfect sense in a ring game but short handed?

@ snow

My take on this would be just what you did except I would have folded the flop instead of calling. Your draws are too weak.

I might have even been tempted to check fold that flop. Like Powda said...it's a bad flop for you.

Betting less than 1/2 pot out of position on the flop, is an invitation to getting pushed out of the hand. Your only draw is an OESD that isn't even the nut straight draw, much less the nut draw.

Danny's advice is correct, a hand like this shouldn't even be seeing a flop, as your only semi-coordinated for smallish straights.

The fact only three saw the flop here doesn't matter on that flop, and the bet size indicated weakness.

Having seen a flop, check/fold is the only reasonable play here.

I'm not arguing, I just want to be clear. My point was not that three hands saw the flop, it's that there are only three players at the table. All others are sitting out.

that definitely changed the dynamic of the game.......

if i am calculating correctly i had 16 outs to a straight, 4 of which put a flush on the board.......i usually don't mind peeling here for a small bet, but i agree chasing a draw that is not the not draw in this game is a little crazy.

thanks for th input from everyone!
