    Not sure I'd count on my over cards in in PLO, so guess its down to if you willing to go all out on a OESD and not 100% sure I'd want to. Still got 2 to act behind as well. Be surprised if your not behind, and maybe well behind curently, and I hate a call with 2 behind still to act unless happy to get it all in, which might happen if call with 2 to act. Personlly I fold I think.

    Correct fold imo, the overpairs are basically worthless (by the river 88 is never the best hand, and if you hit a set someone likely makes a straight), so you're left with the open ender, not all of those outs are clean and there is a good chance the villain has at least 1 of your outs. 

    I think best case is the villain has a naked nut flush draw and you only have 40% equity. Against a made straight you have 34%, against sets 39%. Any combinations of those, draws + overpairs or if you're up against multiple opponents with different draws/made hands you're completely crushed. 

    Calling here would be setting fire to your money.
