LAG play in 100PLO8

[Kuso]

My limited stats on SimplyWicked have him as a LAG.

230 hands, 57% VP$IP, 22.2% PFR, AF 3.0, 13 Big Blinds/100

SW's LAG style paid off big this time, but can this pre-flop play really be justified even for a LAG? I'm guessing that ULKYFCNSCKRU was trying to take SW off his LAG game -- but can ULKYFCNSCKRU 's style be justified as a +EV response to a LAG.

Can it be +EV to try to out-LAG a LAG, or is it better just to bide your time and wait for a monster?

Any other comments on this hand?

First, I don't believe in giving free cards in Omaha as a standard policy. BUT WHY RAISE IN THIS SITUATION??????????

There is no low draw (or even a backdoor low draw) and the only thing that will most likely beat you is a runner runner Aces for him to get quads. I will take my chances and see if someone can catch up.

hard to see here, but ULKY only had $13 left, so it was really not that big of a deal -- the bulk of the money was in the pot.

regardless of the money behind, good point.
