Raise turn bigger to like 1/2 pot.
Raise river bigger also like 1/2 pot.
Think you made it very cheap for your opponent here...

A few things:

First, this is the tournament analysis section - cash game hands belong in the cash game section.

Second, what's with the Railbirds redirection link at the top of your post?!?

Third, try not to post results if you want meaningful analysis.

On the actual hand, any reads you've got would help but I think you won about what you'd expect to win in this one. You've only made a medium flush on the turn. Once you hit your straight flush you may as well jam the pot and maybe you make an extra 4c when you get called.

I honestly don't think you could've expected to make a great deal more on this hand though - up to the river you had a fairly mediocre hand.

you don't have to get so technical exorcist, i'm kinda new @ posting here. And i purposely showed the results because i felt i didn't bet enough on the hand and wanted feedback as to how someone else would have played the hand. Thanks for the negativity, you made my day so mych brighter!

This is the ring game section....MEANING CASH GAMES. This is the correct place to post this.... Your my. know it all, who knows not that much. Thanks for that so useful insight.

I personally think you got all you possibly could of.... .50 cent pot in a .01/.02 is pretty decent..I probably would've played it the same way. :) Maybe if there was another player or two in the pot you could've pushed a little harder and possibly got some callers

With micro PLO you can raise with better and get called with worse. You could have been a tad more aggressive on the flop. You have a str8 draw and a str8 flush draw. At least 1/2 pot or more bet here. Turn is where you can get a little tricky on the betting. If you feel you have the best hand here and have redraws to a better you want to try to entice him to stay in the pot. Little under half should do it. River gives you the str8 flush. Pot it if he followed you to end.

Raise everywhere.

I don't play much PLO but preflop we have a strong, if speculative hand, on the flop we have an open-ended straight flush draw and a backdoor flush draw, on the turn we have a straight flush, the board is a huge action-magnet of a board from start to finish and we're not raising until the river? Really? Especially seeing as we're only playing with like 40BBs (note - stop doing this) we should be aiming to play for stacks here, seeing as I have no doubt that the majority of players at $2PLO are bad enough to stack off here with hands as bad as two pair or something.

He was really just trying to help you. You will get more - and better - responses if you initially leave the results out. :)

When he posted this was in Tournament HA - I moved it after that to Ring HA.
