I'm not to good in PLO8, but I would most likely take the initiative with a 3bet to like 10bb with KK and decent low potential as well. Than you most likely end up HU post-flop in position. Now you get in a situation that I would fold as well. Off course you have decent flush potential, but a good change you're low isn't to good and playing for stacks for most likely max half the pot seems bad.

Interesting to see what the experts thinking about this hand.

Cheers,

For tournaments there might be relevant info about bounties, are we close to bubble or itm etc.

In a vacuum, to me this looks like quite easy fold. You have healthy stack, and if UTG has AA2 you are screwed. Even if BB joins with A2 and they block each other, you still are far from required equity.

Now the interesting thing is, what are you thinking about this situation? What would be the reasons to call/shove? What do you think UTG has, when he 4bets into 4 players?

I'm no PLO8 player, but I agree with Kyyberi, this seems snap fold to me vs a 4bet. Hell even vs a 3bet.

In general, in tournaments saved chips are more valuable than won chips. Here we have invested 2bb and the question is should we continue with healthy 45bb stack (that covers at least 3 opponents, important in KO) or risk it in a situation where the best case scenario is a flip.

The hypotethical question is, how large bounty would BB need to have, that we should jam it in?
