Default I is a donkey, PLO/8 .01/.02

I've been reading a seemingly popular O/8 book. Meh, how bad did I play this?

PokerStars Pot-Limit Omaha/8, $0.02 BB (7 handed) Poker Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

SB ($1.68)
BB ($3.08)
UTG ($3.12)
MP1 ($0.79)
Hero ($4.70)
CO ($3)
Button ($3.13)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. CO posts a blind of $0.02.
UTG calls $0.02, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls $0.02, CO (poster) checks, Button calls $0.02, SB completes, BB checks.

Flop: ($0.12) K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(6 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">BB bets $0.12</font>, UTG calls $0.12, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $0.6</font>, CO folds, Button folds, SB folds, BB calls $0.48, UTG folds.

Turn: ($1.44) 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $1.39</font>, BB calls $1.39.

River: ($4.22) 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $2.69 (All-In)</font>, BB folds.

Edit: I'm SO new to O/8 that I can't really put people on hands yet. So no reads. This is like my 30th hand at the table.

Hi TheChad - [ QUOTE ]
Buzz still around these parts?

[/ QUOTE ]Reading every post. I read yours a while ago, shortly after mid-night and then got involved in something else.

Looks to me like you played your hand perfectly. It would have been frustrating if your opponent had folded to your huge raise on the flop or your huge bet on the turn, but I have no suggestions. I think your hand needs all the protection you can give it.

As it was, you ended up probably turning a half pot hand into a scooper. Well done.

Keep in mind that I'm primarily a fixed-limit Omaha-8 player. There are some other posters on this forum who are much better at pot-limit tactics than I am.

try a 9-handed game next time... it'll give you more oppurtunities to make reads [altho you'll wanna be a touch less agressive].
nice boat, btw

it wasn't a boat, just top set/open-ended on the turn.

thanks buzz. I'll have to give that a try tonight.
