Top two, weak low draw, PLO8

[WilyTilt]

http://www.pokerhand.org/?800155

-I usually don't play PLO $600.
-So far on the table I've been limp calling and folding flops, raising PF and not c-betting flops. So I may have a weak/scared money image on the table.
-I don't anything about villain.

Here, I limp and get raised from the SB. Flop gives me top two and a bad low draw. I feel like I didn't think enough before I got my money in - I was just thinking, he has 2-4 or just a [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] x [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. I'm feeling that I should've folded to his three-bet, or just folded to his bet (?)

I'll post results later.

DaveBReal, that guy's a huge fish...Should be EZ money...

But seriously BuklaH is probably the top PLO8 player on Stars (what was he on Party, GASSSS_U?), never played with him, just watched him a lot to try to learn...Saw him sitting with like $9500 one nite on a PLO8 $1000 table...Dave would probably be able to comment better on his tendancies, but this isn't a Mustafa situation where he has a set...I think this guy could 3-bet with a wide variety, including a set of As and a low or a super-wrap with a straigh and flush draw...

You sure know how to go up against the big boys, don't you?

Tough spot but two pair with a flush draw, wheel draw out there isn't a spot to go to war with.

Yes, haha, I do tend to get into tough situations with the regulars. Usually to my detriment [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Since not many responses have been posted so far, I'll post the results, and hopefully more responses will come in:

Buklah held A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
Turn was a 2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], River was a 5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. I ended up scooping a very nice $1600 pot.

I think this may be his reasoning:

1) I could be raising a 2-4 nut low draw, or wheel draw, just like I thought he was raising.
2) He may be be able to push me off a two pair hand (?)
3) Just like me, he can't just call and go to the turn with any money behind. If I catch a low, he's getting freerolled.
4) I may have a flush draw also, in which case his jack-high and his two pair may make him a favorite.

Still, overall I don't think his three-bet/push was good. I don't think that he has much fold equity against me, when I have 2/5 of my stack in already with my pot sized raise. Also, even against a wheel draw (without a flush draw) it's close to 50-50.

But again, given the other post here, he may have a tendency to push mediocre hands hard..

Thoughts? Like I said, I don't play this high usually, so maybe more the players are very aggressive like him.

I'm with you, I don't usually play even close to that high...When ever I try to chip up and play higher I find myself floundering because my opponents at the lower levels are so bad that I find I'm still trying to push against opponents that are making far less mistakes...
