Trying to get back into PLO after a while..
.05/.10 PLO, I have 4.40 and am the shortest stack at the table after making a bad river call a few hands ago.
We are 8 handed. I get 4d Ah Ac 8h third under the gun and raise to .45 after one limper. 2 players call in position, as does the limper. The flop comes 3d 7h 6c. The limper checks to me and I . . . ? The current pot size is 1.90, or about half my stack.

Yes. Easy bet/call. Especially given that you have a gutshot as well. Unless he has 45xx he can't have you crushed, and he can easily have totally missed that flop.

Not sure if you missed that I have three opponents. Does this affect your decision?

Omaha (especially PLO) can be very frustrating. Today I played a short session of PLO ring games where all my bluffs got called and all my 2nd nut hands (sometimes even with redraws) were losers to the nuts

Oh and one hand where I had the nut straight with a flush draw, and the guy with the same straight as me backdoored a different flush. That sucked.

No, I am playing for stacks here 100% of the time.

I'll play for the $4.40 here too. Don't play with <50% stack - reload.

I did miss it.
I still shove. At least you have backdoor hearts as well.
