This flop missed you big time. Check/Fold.

yeah, we really missed it with the nut low draw and an overpair.

btw, i either just call the turn or i raise the pot. more likley the latter. just a rough beat that you only took 1/4 or 1/6 or whatever you got.

the bottom line is you pot it post-flop to push out draws, but in this case the A389 ss had these draws on the flop: nut low, nut flush, OES, backdoor flush, and a second nut boat draw with some other razor-thin draws. You have to push draws out, and sometimes you get clobbered by a mega-drawing hand like this... just be glad you got something back when he didn't complete something better than you, because his odds to do so were quite good. Seems like if you play it a little more aggressively here moving forward, you'll more than make up for this hand soon enough.

Your ev here is about 23%. Think about it.

I would've check raised a larger amount on turn. Other than that, you played it fine and just got unlucky.

He's saying that one has a straight, one has a low, and you're S.O.L. At the very least you're beat for high and tying for low.

Given the description of the opponents, this is probably right. This hand lacks counterfeit protection, any draws, any redeeming features at all. Staying involved after the turn is a slightly -EV choice.

This is one of those PLO8 folds that separates the men from the boys.

I don't think I fold this, but after the flop bet is called by two players I have to figure that I'm likely beat for the high. Raising on the turn with just the nut low, then, seems kind of sketchy - I think I call the turn bet rather than raising, check/call the river...

If it's any consolation I think the button played this hand worse than you did (way too passive with such a strong flop for him - he should be trying to get it all in right there), but maybe he knew that you would bet into him on every street...

play passively w nut lo or lo draw when u can be counterfeited and you dont have great draw for hi. i agree w the person who said check call turn and river
