Default Re: PLO8 $50 - Critique my spewy play

If you have a tight image, is it because you raise primarily w/AAWx as in the example?

In this case, your raise is a laughably small portion of your stack, and these aces were pretty crappy, with only one wheel card and no suits. I would think that these are worth a call and a reraise preflop with an aggro opponent, but otherwise these aces should see a flop cheaply and go home when they miss. As played, you seem to have committed yourself with weak aces, and you opponent presumably either had a hand, or had enough of a read on you to know that two pair was good for high.

Betting less than pot on the flop and then pot on the turn seems backward to me. I would pot the flop and then check/call the turn (against most opponents) or possibly bet 1/2 pot as a blocker if I thought opponent would always pot-bet if checked to.
River should be folded unless you have some crazy read. I realize it's not much more to call but I think this is a bluff like 1% of the time.

You seriously think so? In my book not reraising AAwx (anywhere, anytime) makes baby jesus cry. In pot limit, anyway.
