Some PLO8 hands

I thought I'd post a few hands. Some I'm not sure that I played ideally. Others piss me off to no end. The last are simply brags. I've been pretty readless in my play. Raising/limping monster ace hands. Raising/limping monster draw hands. Raisng absolute air.

With the low draw as backup popping up on the turn, should I be betting this with a J high flush? Would he have raised an A or K high flush draw here?

I figure if he has a Q and flush draw he's raising, but can't figure out if he's smooth calling here with a monster draw or just floating me. His check behind me pretty much gave ending to the story, so the river was pretty straightforward. IIfI'm in position here, I think I'm betting about $3 OTT and potting the river. I'm thinking I took the safe route OOP. Curious though.

This next hand has me frusterated for a couple of reasons.

zd2000 wins the high pot ($19.05) with two pair, Eights and Fours

Reason #1- Lately I've been pushing these hands incredibly hard, and getting stacked. I'm still pissed I didn't raise the flop.

Reason #2- How the hell does he call this river? Hadn't shown down air & nut lows on big bets yet. Every big bet was either nut, nut/nut or nut/2nd nut.

I figured he was big here, so waited to see the turn before putting dow the hammer.

Nice hand summaries, I usually agree with your analysis and head-scratching opponents plays.

I see that you are a mod on the FullTilt OH8 forum. Would you have the opportunity to direct FT's attention to the post below about expanding the SnG games available?
