Interesting spot in PLO
Now, this hand didnt happen to me, but was put up on a local forum and everyone had very different things to say about it. Around three very different takes on the hand and how it could have been played and what to do. Anyway just thought it'd be good to see what people here think...
I'm not sure if my memory is perfect here with sizing etc. but I' say it's pretty close.
I raise to 7 in the HJ with 5758 btn calls and villan in sb calls. Standard open right?
Flop comes 697 Villan in the sb leads for 17. I raise to 58. The villan in this hand has played all his draws passively so far. I'd expect him to C/c all draws and lead made hands. So I would say he's leading 2 pair+ hands, sets, made straights maybe some overpairs? Difficult to know for certain obviously so its possible he could just c/f some overpairs or 2 pair hands on this wet a board.
Would everybody raise here yeah?
Villan then thinks for a minute or 2 and raises the pot.
Hero?? Standard ship now and if he has better its a cooler? "
"This is a hand from a shorthanded 1 2 game, I think it was 6 handed at the time. I have about 380 villan covers. Table has been playing pretty loose passive.

Can see why people would argue over the hand though as holding the second nuts, with a flush and straight flush draw is pretty strong, but also highly possible that you are behind as well, or drawing to worse flush (straight flush not counted). If I had to guess you could well find that villian has not only the hight straight but free rolling the nut flush draw too. Quite often the case when all ins happen in PLO. Interesting hand though, and agree don't see point in a raise with this hand pre.
