Look Ok?

hhmmm.... i'd like your hand in plo8 rather than lo8. you've got limited nut potential, and the AA probably isn't going to stand up unimproved.

the line looks OK, but i wouldn't be surprised to see you raised on the river and maybe staring at 45xx. i'd actually consider checking behind on the river given that you'll most likely only be called by hands that chop you or raised by hands that beat you. i guess what i'm trying to say is that you win an extra bet from a one-way high you beat much less often than you lose one or two bets to a wheel. this is doubly so given that these fvckers are probably like most low limit players and LOVE to slowplay hands like turned wheels just so they can CR the river.

Looks alright to me. I agree with Kuso on the river but I don't think it's a big issue either way.

He called with T976, taking half the pot with his 76 for low. Once again I'm left wondering what the hell he was doing in the pot.

I'm starting to give up on LO8. I've got almost 10k hands now and I've payed almost twice as much in rake as I have won. Since everyone seems to want to chase just to get their own money back, the house keeps winning big. Since we got to split the shortys money we made like 1bb, but without the shorty we both would have lost on the hand.

Beating the rake + all the chasers = hard.

Beating the rake in any .50/1 limit game is going to be pretty tough.
