Hand Held PLO8 1/2$

[x vikram]

<u>A live 4 handed PLO8 1/2 blinds</u>

Folded to me and i limp in the SB BB checks.

My hand: A469o
His hand: A377o

Flop: 5 7 8 rainbow

I forgot the cardinal [censored] rule, which is to play to scoop,odds for the flop:

ME: Scoop 17% High 63% Low: 22% EE: 0.424
HIM: Scoop: 32% High: 37% Low: 78% EE: 0.576

I only had him on the high, which i knew so i bet the pot, he smooth called. Is this pot bet wrong?

Turn: 5 7 8 Q rainbow

With no FDs what so ever i made a 2/3 pot size bet, again he called, <u>any thoughts here?</u>

ME: Scoop 13% High 75% Low: 13% EE: 0.438
HIM: Scoop: 25% High: 25% Low: 88% EE: 0.562

River: 5 7 8 Q 8

I checked and he bet the pot which was a large% of my stack, i called. Any thoughts?

My thinking: I knew i had him on the high until the river my plan was the make a pot bet on the end causing him to fold, i didnt think A4 was a great low and that i would have split. Opinions please!!!

where did you play a live plo8 game?

also, what were the stack sizes?

given that you were playing against a random hand, i can't fault your line on any street. on the river, i'd be fairly confident that i was at least good for half if not the scoop. you got beat by a four-card hand. it sucks, but it happens (esp. in SH).
