PLO8 $100: Checking the turn?

[niss]

You can't say that without looking at the big picture. Yes of course, in isolation, raising pre-flop from EP with this hand is not optimal. But if he only raises AA23 from EP then he's not going to get a whole lot of action, now is he.

Once he hits a favorable flop -- and he might have the best hand after the flop -- not betting the hand is terrible.

Reasonable people can disagree about the turn. I would bet it but for less, as I've said.
