One big PLO8 hand

[Stoneburg]

Blinds are 1/2 and stack sizes vary GREATLY. 3 people with <20bb, two with around full stacks and 3 with double stacks. I've got a double stack. People are VERY loose and not selective about their starting hands, calling raises with total junk.

I pick up [3d][Ts][Jd] in MP.

UTG and UTG+1 limps, the next guy raises to 8. I cold call as do 5 more people so we are 7 to the flop with a pot of ~60.

Flop comes

BB (with 270) bets 4 (duh). I have a read on him that he bets like this with any draw and calls any raise. One guy folds, then a big-stack moron raises to 14 (double duh) and preflop raiser (big stack) flat calls. This loooks pretty pathetic so I pot it to 117 with my TP+nut low draw and backdoor flush draw.

Shorty behind me goes all-in, BB flat calls and both big stacks fold.

Turn is an off suit 4 giving me the nut low. I put BB in for another 153.


Good or bad?

Looks good to me. Only thing you can consider is seeing the turn on the cheap since you know (assuming you are sure) that you'll get called if you hit nut low and pot it. If the turn is a high str8 card or something icky then you can get away with minimal bruising.

Did anyone else get the irony in Stoney saying "people calling raises with total junk" followed by "guy raises and I cold call with A3TJ triple suited"

Not busting your balls at all, I would have called on that kind of table every time.

Well shorty had and dragged the main pot (45bb) with a runner-runner two-pair but I picked up the 225bb side pot with my pair of tens. I think my main opponent had the flush draw without a low.
