Played another 240 hands or so today of 25 PLO and finished up about 30.00 down, thanks as usually to a couple of foolish bets. Here are a couple of hands that I would like some comment on. Thanks ahead of time.

Hand 1 Probably just better to call the small bet and try to hit my nut flush cheap as it kind of stinks of trouble with a set but I went ahead and popped it up and caught good.

Hand 2. Another time I push the max and get all to fold. Probably pretty dangerous with that flop although I do hold some straight outs and I have the dry nut diamond. Does anyone just check that flop?
