Diamond PLO8 Tourney

At this stage there's 25 left with the top 9 getting paid, I'm just above the average stack in position against the Chip Leader who I have no experience against.

Thoughts?

    Against his whole range we should be flipping to slightly ahead. Something like 52-48 if his range is AA2x, A23, etc. And that's obv a super strong range. Throw in random bare AA hands and I think we should be a favorite here.

    Not sure I think this is a good hand to go all in on. You may be way behind on the low and have not hit the high yet. Also mainly are you going to scoop ? If not you are gambling just to get your chips back.

    Id openfold this hand preflop and dont like the limp/call either.

    As played its probably standard stack off on the flop.
    If he is competent you are flipping against his range (NLD or 2nd NLD+overpairs/top pair/two pair, A23 etc.).
    (You are only ~30-70 dog if he has a set and a better lo draw but thats the worst case scenario.)

    PF is close, flop is standard, IMO.

    If the table (particularly those behind you) is aggressive, I think that tilts it to a fold PF because calling a raise is

    That's the thing about world draws (or close to it with no nut low), they look like Brooklyn Decker.

    But when they whiff your left with nothing but your deck in your hand.

    Re: PLO8 Tourney

    pf is a bit meh...raising is unnecesary though imo. hero doesnt really want a big pot oop with his stack. limping is fine and depending what u think of villain then sometimes even limp fold.

    So if we think the villain pretty bad and likely to do this with bad aces and call pf i don't think u can do anything esle other than get it in

    cant come up with a good sexy analogy like drawn though
