Ok so I recently added LO8 to my repertoire. Give the right games I can easily make a profit, but I haven't a clue about the finer points of the game or maybe the most important part(?), how to extract max value, since I still think in PL terms.
So an example from yesterday. I get dealt what I think is a monster. The table is loose preflop, most people will call 2 bets cold if they was gonna limp in at all so I raise UTG to build a pot. Dumb? Good?. Well I felt dumb when UTG+1 3-bet it, but then the CO calls 3 bets cold so it kind of worked I suppose, but limp-RR might get more money in?

Flop: (17SB, 4 players) Obviously I like this flop. How do I proceed?
SB checks, Hero bets, UTG+1 calls, CO calls, SB calls.
Turn: (10.5BB, 4 players) Nice. What now?
SB checks, Hero bets, UTG+1 calls, CO folds, SB calls.
River: (13.5BB, 3 players) Goddamnit! I wimp out.
SB checks, Hero checks, UTG+1 checks.
Results:
Final pot: 13.5BB
Hero showed 2s Ad 3d Js
SB mucks 3s 4s Ks Qc
UTG+1 mucks Qs 7d 2c As
Can i get more value anywhere? The river seems obvious, but somewhere else? Or did I luck out and get more than I should have?
