1)Stats of BB (28/11/25) i e (VPIP/PFR/WTS)
2)Equity of my hand on flop ~ 40% vs set/two pair from opponent
It is not enough equity to push but I have 12 OUTS to get nuts straight

My questions:
Did my game is good?
Or I must push flop only with draw with top pair or combo-draw?
Does my push with draw dependence from my stack size(~80BB)?
How can I play better this hand?

Fold preflop, nothing else to say on the matter really.

In PLO this is a super trap hand. You're going to lose a lot of money, especially playing the hand out of position like you did.

All it needed was your opponent to show up with a hand like 6789 or 4567 and you would have been completely crushed. An even worse scenario is if you get 2 opponents, one holding something like 478x and the other with a set.

This hand is garbage and you shouldn't play it in a limped pot, let alone where UTG pot raised it preflop. Your hand is going to get you in a lot of trouble, especially on boards like 559 or 678 where it's obvious you're never good if there is action on the flop.

Please save yourself a lot of money in future by folding hands like this preflop next time. :f_biggrin:

this³

dont play low cards multiway (and since almost all pots will be mutliway at plo25 -> dont play low cards at all (unless u expect it to go heads up to the flop or u get in really cheap)

also this hand shows that u a) overvalue non nut draws and b) dont give multiway scenarios enough credit.

this draw has to be heavily, heavily discounted 5ways because its so easy that ur drawing slim/dead 2ways (draw covered, pair of 5s covered)

fold preflop, def fold flop. this shows some really basic misunderstanding of plo preflop and postflop game, both in understanding and estimating equity (postflop) and thinking in future streets / positional awareness etc
