Re: Playing both nut draws in PLO8
Generally, get in as much as you can.
Exceptions and caveats:
if you're playing someone that you think is likely to also have the nut low draw (maybe a very tight player or someone who always minraises A2xx preflop and has given away their holdings that way), then consider exercising pot control. You want to be able to get it all in on the river if your flush comes, but you'd like to avoid getting it all in in this situation unless you have some other backup high.
If you're playing against someone you suspect has a strong high (maybe they reraised the flop): you want to either get it all in on the flop (if your draw is strong, i.e. you have a backup for your low and/or some backdoor straights/gutshots to go with your flush draw), or you should exercise pot control so that you still have some play on the river. If opponent has a high hand, they will do best if they can either fold, or get it all in, on the turn, and you would generally prefer that the hand play out differently.
