Is my hand as strong as I think it is?

[keikiwai]

I'm wondering if this is a raise pf (I probably only raise this OTB due to the 3), and if the over pair + FD = big raise on flop. I have no idea what I'm doing, thanks for any input.

Getting it all in on this flop is a disaster I think. Sometimes you'll be up against Q9JT type hands and be a dog, and other times it'll be against AJT9 nut flush type hands and be a dog, and sometimes versus sets and you'll be a dog... ugh.

That said, I've never played PLO besides 2+2 games, so I could be way off.

Short-handed ish, this is def. a raise anywhere. Don't worry about the 3.

You've shown strength PF, I think a raise on the flop here is fine. If they call with just a straight draw, you are a monster fave. However, if they sadly have the nut flush and a straight draw - say AJT, then you have big problems.

Evaluate what they do, and go from there.

I would have raise on the flop but maybe not a pot sized bet I think making it $9 gives you the info you need as he could have 2 pair and may throw it if you raise or merely call looking for a safe turn card
