actually be a better hand? I mean that gives villain the chance to have the top-set while we have blockers to the full-house and improve our equity if villain wants to gamble? Of course strictly equity wise we are stronger with FD+Set...

Haha, true. At least we get some value it checks true
Hey I have a general question about hands where we don't have the nuts, but our equity is great. Is it better to peel and try to make our hand, or should we just try to shovel the money in? Obv its going to be very situation dependent, and I guess often the turn might kill the action - like a flush card. Here is a sample hand where I wasn't sure if flatting was better than potting. HEM shows me I have more equity than the nut-straight.

I figured I'd move up to PLO5 once I've grinded 10 stacks from PLO2. Just accomplished that, so I'll see if there is any difference. I'm not even going to complain that I was 15bb's under EV and only got 40bb/100 over the 2.5k hands I played
Why couldn't I run that hot when I was last playing mid-stakes.. lol.
Are there any noticeable differences between PLO2, PLO5 and PLO10 on the Stars Zoom tables? Was surprised how nitty the PLO2 games were, at least today when I played during the day. Back in 2007 when I was starting NLH there were less regs at NL4 than I see fish at PLO2.
