PLO8 hand on Bodog
Just put some money on Bodog and have been trying things out. Caliber of play is noticeably worse than FTP as I expected. Decided to sit at a PLO8 table. I've played omaha h/l in limit form but never PL. I'm not sure if I played this hand well or not, check it out:
Loose/passive table with lots of minbetting/calling/minraising with occasional pot sized bets out of nowhere.
Hand history from scratch since Bodog hand histories are weird:
.5/.10 PLO8
10 handed table
UTG rasies to .20
Two callers, I call with As 9s 9c 4h.
Two more callers, villain raises to .25 (???)
Everyone in the pot calls.
Pot $2.40
8 players to the flop which comes 9d 6d 6c.
Villain bets .10, three calls.
I for some reason only raise to .30
Two calls, Villain raises to .40
Everyone calls.
Pot $5.50
Turn - 10c
Villain bets 3.50
Two folds
I raise to 7.00, folds to him, he calls.
Pot 19.40
River - 10s
Check check
He turns over 2h 3h 5c 6s
My full house beats his trip 6s (!!!)
So his mistakes are really of no interest.
My main question is what to do on the flop? I'm not sure what I was thinking with the .30 raise with a 2.70 pot. I was a little concerned about chasing folks away since two more low cards would have me playing for half the pot. On the other hand, should I be betting big on the flop to shut out low drawing hands? Once the 10 came on the turn I was just trying to get the money in until the 10 on the river shut me down.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. I'm a novice at omaha h/l, trying to develop some skills outside of NLHE. |
