PLO8 - Should I put it in or pull it out?

[Stoneburg]

Table has gotten 5 handed and I've been card dead and hovering around the double buyin for a while. One new player just joined. I'm on the button with 236T which is starting to look like a good hand, the T being suited and all.. so I limp after the two before me did likewise.

The SB completes but the new player who just posted the BB decides to miniraise, it's called to me who call along... then the SB puts in another miniraise... everyone calls to me so at least I am closing the betting this time... I call.

Flop comes just as I ordered it, 226 rainbow. SB checks, the BB leads out pot size (15), a limper flat calls and I raise it to 75. Both players have 150 and I have them covered, and they both call.

Turn is a 7 making the board rainbow. BB hesitates a few seconds and goes all-in. The limper hesitates a lot longer and then call. I hesitate and call too, but should I?

i like your pf action -- there's no need to bloat the pot with this hand when you have position. on the flop...


MMMMMAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

on the turn you might be a dog here to 27xx, but you could also be looiking at a made nut low (maybe with trips). in 5-handed play, i'd only fold a flopped boat on the turn against the very tightest players. don't forget that you still might be able to draw out for low if your boat is no good.

Puke and call, you are getting way too good odds to fold. This is why I like NL, you could have just pushed all in on the flop.

Well I did call but I was thinking "I bet he has A27x" and of course that's what he had. The other guy had 3588(!) and got the low part.
