That the third hand of the session, so no reads at all. To call or not to call?

Bet flop, check turn

as played fold river.

[bicilotti]

Maybe I'm a bit naive in my toughts, but isn't check raising a thing which is seldom right in PLO?

[RoundTower]

no.
and as played i guess fold. Just because you are European doesn't mean your opponent is.

not when you have a full house and think your opponent will bet his nut flush and maybe call a raise. or when representing the same.

meh, boring me that when I have a FH in PLO I bet it myself.

[Aisthesis]

I would've bet that flop (half-pot). I think you're good a lot of the time, and you need to have some idea of where your flush is at--as well as getting overpairs with 2 outs out of the hand.

As played, I think you have to fold.

[Burdzthewurd]

Bet 3/4 flop. As played, fold river, but I think the leadout was ok

[bicilotti]

Ok, bottom line is: fold, fool!

But my tought was (and is): what the hell has he got? I mean: 3388 board and he fired out! IMHO he was trying to buy that

[alavet]

instafold

i fold turn also
