So like most people I mainly play NL. I have studied a decent amount of PLO8, but have put fairly limited work into my PLO Hi game. Looking for advice on how I played this hand at all decision points.
Preflop seems standard...doesn't seem good enough to 3bet but certainly worth taking a flop. OTF, we face a cbet from the PFR. On this board, I'm not giving him too much credit. With an overpair and some backdoor draws, a call seems standard. Not much to see on the turn. I think the river is particularly interesting.
If I bet, I think some hands like 2P or sets might flat call. However, if I check, those hands will bet. Then if I raise, I think I can get some sigh calls, especially from sets.
Is my thinking here good, or is there a more efficient line to take with this hand?
