What gives? I get all in with top set vs 2nd set with gutshot and he runner runners another straight.

Overall comments on my play? All are welcome.

Hand 1: Bad luck.

Hand 2: Against two opponents I think someone holding 89 is quite possible so I would personally be tempted to check, but then again there's every chance you could be up against two pair and a flush draw. If there's no flush draw out then the T almost certainly hit someone. However, betting here ain't too bad. If both players come along for the ride you probably just about have odds to chase your boat at least. Some would say bet, some would say check. Personally I think I'd rather check this because I find it hard to believe one of your opponents is liable to bluff here, so you won't lose out on the hand by doing so, merely give a free card. I think passing the river is probably correct if your opponent is reasonably sensible.

Hand 3: Normally I would proceed with extreme caution on this flop, but it IS PLO25 and there is a possible lower straight out, AND your opponent is relatively short-stacked AND he didn't bet the full pot on the flop so I think raising him was probably a decent move.

Hand 4: Routine again. Unlucky.

You seem to be going through my mid-march luck with turn/river cards!

I thought I played these hands resonably well. I guess I could have waited for a non flush card on the turn in hand 3 but other than that, people haven't paid me off well enough yet to make up for these suck outs.

I thought you played em fine too brian. It's the big mistakes in PLO that cost you the big money, and as far as I can see (unless you're not posting any such hands!) you ain't making any big errors. You would beat the 200 games with your play. Take heart!

no, i'm not afraid to post any hands that I have question on. There are some hands where I call pot sized bets (1.25-$2) on flop with nut flush draw and gutshot to fold to a pot bet on the turn when I miss. I feel these hands are pretty standard so I don't post those. Otherwise, I ask about any hand I have questions with.
