Decided to make the call PF since I got position. Don't know if it's good or bad though, any comments apreciated.

Post-flop, well, I don't know...

On the flop, I figured that I'm probably ahead but decided to just make the call and let a weaker draw get there.

On the turn, I don't know If I'm ahead anymore, I might be up against a set but I do have the odds to call.

River is pretty standard I think.

Would it have been better to bet out flop or turn instead of taking this passive line?

Squeeze that flop. There are a lotz of money here, and you have the monster.

Could you elaborate a bit please? I'm a big fish at PLO. :f_biggrin:

My reason for just calling the flop is that since MP is leading out he probably has a strong hand and CO probably a weak draw, if I raise the flop, MP might shove it and scare away the weak draw.
This was my thought process here, but as I said, I'm pretty much a donk at PLO and I'd appreciate if you could explain a little bit why raising is better.

And what about PF, OK to call there?

preflop you have a lot of freedom in position. this hand has some potential with 3 broadways + suit to the ace so call is fine.

the reason behind raising is that you have a huge monster with wrap+nutFD and getting all the money on the flop is a nice result (you are ahead of KK**) if MP has a strong hand he might be scared to put more money if your draw completes. true CO might fold if MP shoves , but he can also call with a dominated draw :f_biggrin:

This. BTW one thing: if you were CO and BU was still to act I would just call. Because we want him in the pot etc
