I agree completely with Tom. I'd prefer to c-r the flop, since you're OOP in a big field and will probably get a bet from behind given that board, and almost certainly have the best hand. A chk-raise would get you a lot closer to (if not fully) committed, which is what you want.
However, as played I'd still happily get all my chips in.
Phil, you crack me up.
Playing like crap....

BIG WORDS
It's good to know about four or five biggish words you can stuff into a conversation so you sound well read. Don't fuck them up the way black people do, but don't overuse them either. We recommend putting your fancy word next to a swear. Here are some examples: "…so she walks in all precocious like we give a shit," or "…and it's the same old pedantic bullshit he's always going on about," or "She's got this big fucking turgid zit right in the centre of her face."

Well, the upshot is that obviously I should've check-raised the flop. I felt on the turn he had A2 or the nut flush or both, in which case I'm putting rather a lot of money in for half a pot. Obviously holding trips I have a draw to a boat but I still hate the way I played this, mostly for the reasons others have stated.
I used to check-raise all the time but now I do it fairly infrequently in PLO, I feel it can often be a bit of a leak in PLO to CR too much when the money's very deep. Perhaps that's rubbing off on my PLO8.
I managed to throw away half a stack in a $400 PLO8 game last night as well by being reticent to check-raise into a preflop raiser OOP; well, that wasn't the only reason (calling the turn and river when I could arguably have folded either street didn't help!) but I'm obviously going to have to refine my PLO8 game lately because I feel I'm making too many really awful plays (as in this hand here). Part of posting it was to kick myself in the ass to be honest.
