Re: 50NL JTs big draw
Does anyone else like checking the flop back?
An aggro opponent may bluff at a turn flush card for you. Unfortunately I saw the results so my opinion of the turn as played is now biased.

Re: i played this terrible. agree?
I don't think there are many possible flops for this hand where you're more likely to be the stacker rather than the stackee, unless you're looking to flop a straight?!

Re: Flop descision: how much do you bet?
Well that's what I did, and it might appear to be standard. But on reflection I think I have a better plan for this particular situation.
I meant to ask in my post, how much - but more importantly...

I'm an inexperienced PLO player learning the ropes (usually) buying in short to the 0.5/1.00 game on Stars.

Re: New to Stars, playing too passive?
Point taken about bet size, I was def. playing passively (/weakly).
My thinking on the turn was that he was probably on a draw: I bet half pot hoping he'd call with the draw, or raise with 2-pair...

New to Stars, playing too passive?
No reads on foe as it's his first hand. Sometimes I'd raise here pre-flop but I'm just getting my feet wet on Stars. Aside from this any criticism on flop or turn?

Low stakes 6-handed table, most players apparently quite loose and passive except for 'hyper-aggro man' (HA!).
