I only really started playing PLO today and wanted to know if my hand was played too aggressive on the flop. I was pretty confident my opponent only had a strong pair preflop based on his raise, but was my raise on the flop a little much for the holding I had?

OP, please convert your hand.

You get one freebie from me, as I edited your post above. In the future please convert them (it takes literally 3 seconds), from the links in the Forum Posting Guidelines stickied thread, or the link now in your OP.

Also, don't include results.

Thanks.

Zach is this something that I download or do I always need to go to the site in order to convert?

P.S. Thanks for the free conversion...

All you have to do is follow the link.

Unfortunately, in order to maintain his site's speed, and reliability, you just have to sign up with him now, it's just using your email address, and takes 2 seconds to do that, but once you sign up, you can use it, and it takes 3 seconds. You just copy the full HH into the window, select "FCP" format, press submit or convert or whatever and copy and paste the output. If you don't get it the first time, try it again, once you get it once, it's so easy.

Thanks for the converter help, I just signed up so there shouldnt be any more errors in the future. Now back to the hand in question in the OP, do you have any thoughts regarding the play?

ISAOmaha.

Ahosang is lurking. Listen to him.

And bdc, navybuttons, simo_8ball, BudBundy, etc

There's a lot of great posters in this forum.

I guess they are all on break right now! What is your speacilty game Zach?

Nothing, at the moment... lol

I used to think I was good at SH LHE though... my numbers don't agree with me anymore.

I could have sworn the HH was a little different. Wasn't Hero closing the action on the flop?? And we definitely need stack sizes in the conversion to comment properly in any PL game.

Anyway, the stack of button means that there's not much difference between folding, raising or calling.
Your flush draw and backdoor hands have enough equity on its own - plus fold equity > 0 - so raising him all-in is probably best in tougher games.
A call is probably only useful on weak-tight tables.
To be honest, if you want to lower variance, a fold is OK. Especially if the converted HH is right, and you have UTG left to act...

Goddamnit.

Converter may have screwed up. I've never converted PLO so I just assumed stacks would be included automatically like it does for NLHE.

If OP wants to PM me the full HH I can reconvert with that, or he can do it himself, if he wants.

However...

Button's stack = $8.05
Hero's stack = bigger.

I was going to re-convert the hand but apparently the site is down at the moment and I cannot load the page....uuuugghhhhhh!!! So please see the un-converted HH.

Ok, sorry to waste your time. It's just that when I refreshed the page, the HH had changed, and I had some thought of Hero closing.
