[swope]

the bottom line as i see it is where and how one chooses to risk ones money.

even if hero *is* drawing live, i dont see equity in not folding. the world doesnt end if he folds the best hand. in fact, it encourages villain to tighten the noose a bit and play that super aggro BS again and again until he walks straight into the nuts and gets felted.

its my experience that in PLO, the way to win the war is to bleed fools like villain when you have them where you want them, instead of risking half (or all of) your stack on a hugely improbable draw that you would *never* call down on someone you knew was competent.

even morons catch hands, and one of the hallmarks of someone new to PLO is the inability to get the hell out of the way when youre at risk because you know someone is an absolute [censored] player. position + reads mean exactly nothing on this board compared to the stark reality it represents the vast majority of times.

the only reason to call here is if you need to dump some cash for tax reasons as i see it, or of course for meta game.
