I've got a question about a hand I played, would like some feed back.
UTG pots, SB calls, BB (Hero) calls, 100bb eff.
Flop Tc4d3d. Hero has Ah7h4h4s.
SB x, BB x, UTG 1/2 bet, SB raises pot.
What should I do here? I think I should call in hindsight, but ended up raising All In. I think my hand likes to see a brickish turn, and then can jam. The stakes are PLO5, so very low. How would that affect this decision?
New to PLO, so any critique would be helpful. Thanks!
I'm a fish, but I'd say without diamonds or straight draw, fold. Best case scenario, you're flipping against a big draw, but often you're crushed vs top set.
Also, not sure about the pre-flop call with 3 hearts and low pair. Curious what others think.
So I have you with about 67% equity vs his range currently assuming he x/r all the 2 pair out there, if you eliminate bare 2 pair you have 61%. On a blank turn your equity increases to about 68% - diamond turn for example your equity drops to 28%. I might just GII here esp with UTG still to act - if we do call the only turn we're folding is a diamond.
The problem is playing this hand to begin with. A single suited A with no connectivity and small pair is a a pretty bad holding to call a raise with in the BB. Now that you are hear, without reads on the SB and at this low level, probably just GII now and make notes for later.

Thanks for checking out the equities! Didn't expect my equity on the turn to remain so similar to on the flop. GII seems more ok seeing that.

Thanks for pointing out the preflop mistake. I'll have to check out my BB defence. What would be the cutoff for those lower pairs? Would it be something like A544:xxyz (suited A) for my worst defend with two 4s, when multiway with UTG and SB, or do I fold all 44?
I think having 3 of the nut suit might just be the cutoff for me and Id fold this pre. But this hand with two hearts is probably the bottom of my bb defense range for wheel pairs , realistically its probably a few notches tighter this hand isnt good lol
with that being said Id just gii and hope youre not up against top set.
I don't know how you quantify playing hands like this but I think it's fine out of the BB. We have nut capability with the flush - it sucks if we flop a set its usually bottom set, but this hand seems easy to play so I would call. Rather have this then some DS hand that has no nut abilities.
