Do I bet this flop (I figure to be ahead of their random hands) and if so, do I have to call on the turn?

well, you're not playing against random hands -- they VPIPed.

anyway, what were your reads on the villains?

i think the bet on the flop is fine if you want to play aggressively and have good reads on your opponents. the problem with this flop is that A3 and maybe even A4 isn't folding -- this is especially true if they have ANY kind of flush draw -- and these hands have you as a dog.

once he calls the flop and donk bets the turn, this smacks of nut low maybe with a redraw. given the pot odds, i think you have to call. you have two pair and a nut flush redraw, so you can't really be that much of a dog unless your up against a four-card hand like A3TT (no need to fear the MuTB).

I could go either way on betting the flop really. Doesn't seem anything wrong with it, especially if they're happy to fold a few hands post-flop. Turn seems a fairly trivial call.

BTW I hadn't noticed this was PLO8 in my original response. My new response is "I don't really know".

Check fold against two loosey-goosey opponents who have CHECKED to me in position in a 3-way pot with two-pair (and an overpair) and having raised preflop?
