Wickss play is ok in both these hands. Who are u to talk [censored]. U short stack PLO 25... Buy in for 10 bucks, WTF.
First hand, he isn't dominated by aces and you are short.
He should call and see a flop, usually, not just put u in pf.
Second hand, he has a big straight draw, and yes u do have the flush draw, but u are also short and could be donking it up with one pair.

Neither are great hands, but they aren't that bad either.

This seems like a bad shove for my stack size. What do you all think?

As a general rule of thumb, with a made hand you want to limit a hand to three cards (small and medium pocket pairs). For further information on this idea, read Greg Raymer's post in the MTT Anthology on Stop-n-Go's. With a drawing hand (non pair) you would like to see all five cards. An overshove is not ideal until antes kick in.

In review: made hands--> 3 cards, drawing hands --> 5 cards, overshove not ideal until antes.

In this case an overshove with a made hand is a huge error.

absolutely not pushing is fine as is raising and calling a shove.

Update 4/16/7

I played 40 sngs today and made $10. I'm not to excited about my 6% ROI. With all the help I'm getting, I should be able to improve that soon.

I played PLO for a while. The games were such that I had to slow down and be more conservative. I managed a nice profit of $98.

Total profit: $108

BR: Umm...I dunno. I lost track.
