I didn't see $.01/$.02 as an option in the interface.

No reads, other than the button seems to be raising his position more than his hand strength, and everyone else seems to be a cs.

I'm a total PLO noob, just dabbling. I'm not sure whether the call from the SB here is warranted with this hand in the first place (i.e., I'm not sure how strong this hand is preflop OOP) - but how should I think about the flopped nut straight and nut flush draw? How does being OOP affect my line? What will my reaction be to action from the other players?

Stacks:
* CO with $5.25
* BTN with $4.18
* HERO with $5.24
* BB with $2.89
* UTG with $5.00

Blinds: $0.01/$0.02
Site: pokerstars
* * Dealt to HERO:T♦ 9♣ 9♠ A♠
Preflop:
* * UTG calls [$0.02]
* * 1 players fold.
* * BTN raises $0.07 to $0.09
* * Hero calls [$0.08]
* * 1 players fold.
* * UTG calls [$0.07]
* * Total folds this street: 2
* * Potsize: $0.29
Flop: Q♠ J♥ K♠
* * Hero ???

Micro PLO ? Ram-Jam-Thank You Mamm.

Seriously it gets no better than this, if someone has a set then so be it, but you have the nuts+a re-draw. Dependant on the flop action I slow down on the turn if the board pairs, but get as much money in now as possible. Slowplaying here is asking to let sets outdraw, and if you slowplayed and let the board pair the turn then lesson learned. If you ram and jam and get sucked out on, then in fairness PLO is a high high varience game, and its something you need to get used to.

Cool - so, as first to act, something like a 2/3 pot bet (I assume I can't count on a c/r opportunity)? Or should I just pot it?

Of course, if someone comes over the top of this bet, I'm looking to get all my money in.

Great - as it happened, I lead out 2/3 pot, followed by everyone potting until all three of us are all-in..

The other two hands are JsTsQcKd and AcThJcQd - all three of us are correct to be fistpumping, aren't we? Well, the first hand is behind on the flush draw and behind to two nut straights, but still...

I assume that this is where the famous PLO variance comes from, multiple hands having excellent redraws?
