I think i was in one of the blinds and i had a hand something like 3567 single suited spades. I remember it was a low three card wrap, with a low side gap.
There were several limpers and a player from late position, possibly the button raised the pot. Im fairly new to PLO and I have been playing tight while learning the game. When I first started out I would fold this hand. But I have been seeing a lot more flops lately, even raised pots. I had a starting stack of around $27 ish...the preflop raiser has me covered.
Anyway, back to the hand. The raise was to $2.25 so I paid the additional $2 looking for a specific flop against a most likely AAxx type hand. I think there were two other callers.
The flop came almost perfect for me.
249 with two of my suit. The pot was around $8. I checked, the other two players checked to the preflop raiser and he bet the pot of $8. My flush draw stinks but headsup it may be good if i hit. I have a huge wrap straight draw and a favorite to an AAxx hand that didnt have the flush draw. I really did not want the other two callers in this hand, just incase they hold something like the Jack high flush. I check raised the Pot basically putting me allin and the preflop raiser was the only caller.
He had the AAxx, but didnt have the flush draw. I hit my flush and won.
How risky is this type of play at the $25 level. You see alot of playes calling with just a J or Q high flush draw.
Briacheck was at my table when this happened and the AA guy started to berate. Thanks for coming to my defense Bria. It was pretty comical, he didnt realize I was the favorite to win the hand.
