In disclosure I am a pretty solid FLO8 player and its probably my fav game, but I struggle with the pot limit version some. So anyway line check please:

Mainly concerned with flop line. Obv I have to get it on that turn. In limit I would raise it up to juice the pot against all the low draws. Does the same principle hold in pot limit or should I be pot controlling here?

c/c flop, lead turn 3/4ths, reevaluate river.

Flop is pretty spew, as you're crushed by any high and ppl don't ever fold A2xx anyway, especially multiway.

Thanks P3rc4. Pretty hard for someone to actually have a better high tho, right?

Meh, your straight (at least the nutstraight/nutlow) is blocked by everyone and you currently possess a pair of jacks without a kicker and an 8% chance of getting a flush.

Flop is somewhere between bad and terrible, get it in ott obviously

I have Jacks up -- not a straight draw.

Wat, oh lol, misread completely. Thought u had JT32.

Raise and get it in on decent turns is perfectly fine then! They will chase as if there was no tomorrow.

Does he not have 2 pairs? Maybe I duno how to play PLO8

You certainly know how to play the game of SLOW PONY!

thank goodness. after ur first response I thought I must be even more clueless than I thought I was.

I don't love flop raise as I don't think the equity of top and bottom pair is all that great when we don't have a draw to the low (I don't know equities numerically in O8 though, just kind of feel them out). Turn is good.

I think its actually pretty good when both villians are likely playing for low here, right?

^Well, I just think it's really thin because there are so many cards that can come off and ruin our hand besides the low. Like it's really easy for someone to make a better 2 pair while chasing the low and there are always more straight draws out there than in hold em. I could be wrong but I try not to overplay my 2 pair hands in omaha...a set of 5s or Js would be a different story, as we are much less likely to be counterfeited by a random card.
