A little background. I'm semi-new to PLO been playing about 6 months and read a few books. I was playing 2/5 at the casino and I bought in for $500 and everyone else had about $700-$1000
I was down to about $350 and these 2 hands came up.....
I called a preflop raise in the SB with A
5
6
7
3 other people called. About $100 in the pot
Flop is A
5
4
I bet out, preflop raiser pots and all the money is in and we decide to run it twice..... we split.... I make a straight on one and he has a higher flush on the other.....
A couple hands later I pot with A
A
7
7
and get 3 callers...
Flop is K
9
3
I pot, he repots and I am all in. We decide to run it twice and split again.... He had QQJX and made a straight flush on the second board
I was ahead both times, if you suspect you are ahead is it a bad idea to run it twice? Looking for some thoughts about running it once or twice or three times
Also - Why is it bad protocol to ask what your opponent has before you decide to run it twice? Why is that frowned up???
