Ahh, Pot Limit High-Low. That explains it. No, I was playing the (more standard, for me) limit high-low. Pot Limit high only, limit high-low.
I suspect that pot limit high low for me would be a VERY different game. I'm gaga enough at PLO. Add some high-low into the mix and I would be getting people all-in nearly every hand (and probably rebuying every other hand :-) )
Popped into Ultimate for some PLO for half an hour and won $23. Not a lot, I know. But all adding to small build backs. $95 today, here and there. I rememebr when that used to be a big win. Sigh.
The PLO was actually laughable. I picked up A998 double-suited and half thought about raising after six people limped. But I wimped it. When the flop came 955 (two hearts) I rather regretted the fact. However, by canny underbetting the pot, I got the other sizeable stack to come with me for $5 on the flop and, after a third heart appeared, for $8 on the turn. The nine on the river actually made things look worse for my hand (even though I now had quads), as, with a board of 9955Q (three hearts) it reduced the number of cards I could hold to beat a flush. I bet $10 into a $30 pot and the flush duly called. Ker-ching!
