Playing $1-1 PLO on Pokerroom I am Button with A 7 A 5 Raise to $6 preflop, 2 callers. Flop comes A 4 5 UTG bets $3, MP2 raises to $33. Do you call this?? Edit--table was fairly new, all 3 players had approx $100 in front of them, no reads on anyone.

I would probably cuss, kick something, and fold this. With no reads, villian could have 23, Kx with 67, 2 pair, underset. with just 5 outs to the nuts at this point and a flush draw, depending on your variance tolerance, I think fold. Now if you can handle losing $100 on a hand (I can't, I'm a low BR guy), then you've got all kinds of fun possibilies (5 boat outs, soon to become 8 if you don't turn it) and backdoor nut flush). But I would think the "correct" thing to do here is fold.

It is just PLO right, not PLO8...if that is the case, then hmmm...Right now, you have top set, but there is a straight possible, as well as a flush draw. Right now, to beat both those hands, you need to catch either a four or a five. You have one five, so your outs are lower. You have no real draws (backdoor flush, but that is a longshot), so it seems like an easy fold to me, especially with someone still to act behind you. 8)
