After I had reviewed the hand, I asked myself if I could have done something better, the play just doesnt feel right.
PLO8 is very new to me, so dont be too harsh. ^^

Stats after ca. 100 Hands: SB had VP$IP about 35, 3bet was still 0. He seemed to be a quite "ok" player for these limits (in my eyes)

Poker Stars, $0.01/$0.02 Pot Limit Omaha H/L Cash, 6 Players

MP: $5 (250 bb)
Hero (CO): $1.31 (65.5 bb)
BTN: $1.76 (88 bb)
SB: $1.37 (68.5 bb)
BB: $1.06 (53 bb)
UTG: $2.75 (137.5 bb)

Preflop: Hero is CO with 2 A K T
2 folds, Hero raises to $0.07, BTN folds, SB calls $0.06, BB folds
The raise seems quite standard to me.

Flop: ($0.16) 7 9 8 (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $0.16, SB calls $0.16
That he had a straight was unlikely, even a pair besides a pocket pair was unlikely in my opinion. So I tried to take home the pot right now.

Turn: ($0.48) 3 (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $0.34, SB calls $0.34
Now I had the nut low with a bad flush draw, so I tried again, because a big improvement of his hand was unlikely after he checked again.

River: ($1.16) 4 (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $0.74 and is all-in, SB calls $0.74
A last try by me to get it all.


Maybe you'll find some flaws in my way of thinking.

All looks standard.

I'm guessing you got quartered. Approximately one time in four, when five opponents are dealt cards and when you are dealt a bare ace-deuce (A2**), someone else will also be dealt A2**. When it happens, in a micro stakes game, there's not any realistic way to get rid of your opponent with A2**.

In this case, I'm guessing Villain had A2** with perhaps any pair.

I may or may not raise here, but OK, the raise seems fairly standard.

I'd bet a dime, but I don't fault 16¢.

I don't fault this, but I might back off here. Whether I did or didn't back off would depend on how I read my opponent. If I thought he might concede, I'd probably bet, just as you did. If I thought he was chasing with an inferior low and nothing for high, I'd probably bet, just as you did. If I thought he had A2** with a pair, a distinct possibility, I'd check behind.

Seems reasonable. You try to convert what seems a one-way hand into a scooper. Three times out of four he figures to not have the same nut low as you, but probably has a better high. Seems like a reasonable gamble if Villain is capable of folding a non-nut low with a trashy high.

Or maybe you'll find some flaws in mine.

Thanks for your comments.

This is exactly the same spot I'm working on now for my game. It depends on the opponent.

Usually, I would bet 1/3 pot here as a value bet, but not a full one. If raised, I fold against a very competive winner as I don't have any high made at this point. Against a loose regular or fish, I would call and hope he had A4xx or I got flush made and he has nake nut low only. In micro level, there are people who always make pot bet with nut low made turn. I would take a note on them, and fold 4 times to their bet, and when I got both way hands, I will suck out every penny and more from them.

I used to find myself impossible to fold naked nut low on any board, and came to realize how much money I'm losing.
