UB $1/2 PLO Flop decision

[iggymcfly]

No way we should be folding this preflop to a min-raise in the BB. It's a pretty decent hand, and we don't have to hit big very often to make playing it profitable. Anyway, we've got a hand where we're almost always in pretty good shape on the flop, but we're not going to know where we stand on the turn. We definitely want to get as much money in as possible right now, and the best way to do that is to check/raise. One of the 4 players after us should hit something that they feel like taking a shot with.

Ribbo: That's very impressive from spending just a tenner! I'm a tourny luckbox though...
