Default PLO8 tourney hand

Is pushing this flop too ambitious? I hadn't noticed MP1 do anything to suggest that he was a decent player. Comments on all streets welcome, I haven't played much PL.

Party Poker
Pot Limit Omaha Tournament
Blinds: t20/t40
10 players
Converter

Pre-flop: (10 players) Hero is UTG+2 with 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
UTG calls t40 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t60)</font>, UTG+1 folds, Hero calls t40 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t100)</font>, <font color="#cc0000">MP1 raises to t220</font>, 5 folds, BB calls t180 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t360)</font>, UTG calls t180 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t540)</font>, Hero calls t180 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t720)</font>.

Flop: 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (t900, 4 players)
BB checks, UTG checks, Hero checks, <font color="#cc0000">MP1 bets t900</font>, <font color="#cc0000">BB calls all-in t270</font>, UTG folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises all-in t3230</font>


Results:
Final pot: t7630

So would I. I will be very difficult to get much value for your hand if you call and hit. Since there is a player all-in there would be very little incentive for you to bluff.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm assuming you mean you would open raise pf, but I'm not sure what you mean when you say you would shove the flop. Are you saying that you would shove in the situation I was in or that you would raise pf and then pot the flop?

Show us stack sizes next time

I think that this is one of those cases where MP1 not being a decent player could either work for or against us.

Im gonna buck the trend and say that I dont like pushing in your position. I think your fold equity is low and theres a good chance you have the worst of it.

If I were you, I would have raised pf and bet that flop. Or called pf and bet that flop.

As it is, I would probably call this bet and push any turn other than a non heart 3 9 T J or Q.
