Default Re: PLO8 Push Nut Straight On Turn With Redraw But No Low?

this trikes me as weak, but a lot of it depends on your playing style and the metagame at the time.

it's very possible that you hvae HUGE implied odds if you hit, and if that's the case, then drawing even to 4 outs is +EV. if would personally try for a CR (now that i take a better look at the action) to put pressure on people, but betting out has its own charms.

the fact that you got quartered is being too results-oriented -- you'll get this as often as you give it. if you were HU with this tight player, then folding might be a more compelling line, but that strikes me as simply realizing that you have less implied odds.

fwiw, it REALLY sucks when you're handed 5 or 10 of these types of hands in a relatively short period of time, but that's poker.
