Default Re: A few PLO/8 Tournament hands

For hand #1, you have to consider that in addition to dodging lows and hearts you may already be behind a made straight. And you have the problem that you don't know whether BB is betting his low draw, his flush draw, or his made straight - which means that you basically have six outs that leave you (somewhat) confident to continue on the turn, and even those aren't totally clean. And you're OOP... and you should have folded preflop... I think you should fold.

Hand #2, I am ready to rock and roll with this hand given the size of the blinds relative to my stack. Without specific information on their holdings I would expect that you have something like a 30% chance that you scoop with AA high and no low made and an additional 20% chance that a low comes but you still get half for your high. Of course this still means you have a half chance of being sent to the rail, but I would normally take this gamble.
