Please, please raise that turn. Another 34 is unlikely and you have a big draw for the top ½. A raise will
- Set you up for a river bluff if you miss everything
- Clean up your flush draw
- Build a pot for when you do hit something
- Sets you up for a big freeroll
Hand 2
I would have bet the turn. That is actually a good card for you because it improves your hand in both directions. You now have a hand that plays very well HU but poorly in a multi way pot. Bet pot and see how many people like that card as much as you.
Hand 3
I raise that turn and am probably going to the felt with how crazy that site it. You have 2 pair do you have 4 free roll outs against another str8. Even if they have the flush draw they only have 8 free roll outs against you.
Hand 4
I don’t hate the call pre-flop, IP that is just on the edge of what I will call with.
Raising the flop makes me cringe. You aren’t going to get a A2 to fold, you aren’t going to get a made flush to fold, there is already a player all in, and there are 3 callers in front of you.
Hand 5
I don’t like that raise from EP and I don’t like the flop raise. With A2Q I would be OK with it, but not with A3Q.
On the turn I am having trouble tracking the pot size but I would be willing to call. I find it very unlikely that you are not going to have 1/3 of the PE here.

I'm OK at PLO and at LO8 but I feel really stupid when I play PLO8. I've read the guide on "winningonlinepoker" but although it seems good it doesn't really seem suited for the types of games I play. The strategy there tends to assume shorthanded pots and pot bets being the standard. Where I play multiway pots and small bets are extremely common. I think you'll get a feel for it by reading the following hand histories.
Every other hand I play I question what I am doing. I know the HH looks a bit crappy but it took almost an hour to get it looking *this* good, which should buy me some slack as well as let you know how much I value your advice. Please give feedback on the following hands:

When I see the minibet my first thought is whether I should promo-raise, I'm about to decide against it because I don't think the nut flush draw will fold then an aggressive player puts in a raise. I decide to just call because I am fairly sure at least two more will call behind me and there's no way I can be counterfeitted, I am obviously behind for high so I don't want to raise since as I said earlier, I think the NFD will tag along anyway.

ukraine is a moron and could have anything but this becomes complex and I need to stop and think. Am I f-cked here? From the action I am guessing nobody h[As] the nut flush but somebody probably h[As] a low flush and someone else has the nut low... I am fairly sure I can get people to fold here because a push from me will be read as the nuts, and if I get ONE caller I should be OK since there's no way anyone has me beaten both ways and isn't raising this flop. Basically it is a promo-push I guess.
