LO.50/1 How horrible is the post flop play?

[abscr]

My usual game is PLO, but I play PLO8 every once in a while too. Party gave me a free $40, so I thought I'd try some limit and limit omaha would give me a nose bleed. My only background in LO8 is some micro tourney buyins.

I'm confident with the pf raise. On the flop, I thought I could be ahead, but I didn't want to raise and knock others out when I might be drawing dead to the high.

If the table is very loose-passive (LOL) I like a call pf here
a good amount of time.
SB bets into the pf raiser and caller; reads would help-does he do this with
the nut lo draw or just Axxx that may dominate you? Flop is a good call.

I often check behind on this river, but if even I vaguely suspect SB was
indeed on a naked lo, I like the river value bet.

Thanks for the reply.

Really no reads. I was at the table for only about a round.

I may bet the flop. You have nut low draw, and both 77 and A7 aren't likely (although possible).

OK, I understand why you included A7 in the unlikely holdings of villain(s) but aren't we behind if they are holding any Ace?

Hero is UTG...SB has already bet and been called.

You will often take the pot uncontested with a flop bet. Furthermore, you still have draws to the nut low.

i think you played it perfectly.

You check behind with Aces full and a second nut low?

[ZenMusician]

Nice post. What range do you put SB on, particularly on the turn,
that makes your read "so obvious"?
