Here's where I'm thinking I've overcommitted myself with this hand and should fold. However, with that call, am I getting the right odds on this hand to call? I have a lot of outs, and this is a pretty auspicious flop, any out I hit for the straight (except for the ten) will be the nuts on the turn, and as bad as the players were on this table, and at this level, a 9 could give me the best hand.



HangukMiguk calls $2.70
*** TURN *** [7d 9c Ks] [7c]
HangukMiguk checks
rocky horse bets $1.10, and is all in
HangukMiguk calls $1.10

Obviously can't get away from this hand now with the size of the pot.

Discuss.

Looks fine. In a 3way pot you will almost certainly have the required equity to call on the flop, and the turn is an obvious call given the pot size.

If you had a flush draw as well you could break the record for most number of outs ever seen on a flop.

With 17 outs (19 if you count 9s) you should overcommit yourself to any hand on flop.

Looking at the stacks he isn't getting away from any turn so are you.

I say put him all in on flop and don't give him the chance to make a ridiculous fold on turn, a misclick or something.

thanks guys. hit the 6 on the river to scoop. table broke right after that, so a 30 minute session for me up 2 buy-ins. i like that, regardless of the stakes.

that was my first ever PLO cash game session, and i felt very very confident. feel like i only made a few small mistakes and knew them when i saw it. i just didn't know whether this was a mistake that i got lucky off of.

i'm definitely going to be working on my PLO game because i see a monster cash cow in these games.

Yeah, that's perfectly fine. "Overcomitting yourself" with a wrap is not something you really need to worry about. You're usually a very slight dog at worst, and have to run into something ridiculous to really "get it in bad".
