Default Re: Extracting value vs. Protecting hand PLO8 $10 FTP tourny

The pot-sized bet is fine. Someone who has low draw plus flush draw already has odds to call; reducing the size of your bet just makes their life easier. Also, there are a lot of cards that will allow someone to put you to a difficult decision on the river - if you bet half pot and an 8 falls, and you check and opponent bets, now what? Could be someone betting a nut low or two-way hand, or maybe they just made their OESD.
Taking it down on the turn is fine.
