OK, so I was up quite a bit for the day, so I decided to play an overpair on a ragged flop. I had no PTO read on the opponent, the guy showed down some ugly hands, and my bets were really making him think. I put him on A3 and a pair.

This is not normally how I play these hands, so I would like some input on how others would progress. Normally, of course, I would dump it on the flop (and I think I will return to that technique). I just thought that I could push this guy off his hand.

Couldn't have been more wrong.

i hate overpairs in PLO and I never make these moves. I don't know about PLO8 if people will chase low draws for pot reraises. In NL, I was always told that min raise often = monster and many times, its the same in omaha so I just fold after his flop min raise and definitely just stop after he called the raise.
