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

With your "low draw" you dont want to f uck around and let somebody who happened to fade that flop with an A2xx with hearts get a cheap look at a river...You want to make people pay HEAVILY for drawing at you when you don't have a strong 2 way hand...Stringing people along only ends up getting you in trouble in the long run when you don't have a good 2 way hand...What happens when a low heart comes on the river and you have to check to your opponent and he pots it? Then you have to make a decision for most of your stack right there...Is he on a bare-ass low or does he have you in both directions?

In your case you MAY consider the string along when you are in position, but I wouldn't recommend it...And maybe I'm a nit, but I wouldn't be playing this kinda hand in EP...It's something that I might give a look to in LP, but in EP I think you can muck this guy because you are gonna have to hit the perfect flop for it...
