This might be standard, but any comments would be appreciated. I don't normally play shorthanded so bit of a new experience.

No real reads, noone seems extremely solid and the table is rather loose (maybe because I'm used to full ring)


Full Tilt Poker
Pot Limit Omaha Ring game
Blinds: $1/$2
6 players


Stack sizes:
UTG: $40.40
UTG+1: $165.80
CO: $176.50
Button: $165.70
Hero: $455.35
BB: $78

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is SB with
UTG raises to $4.5, UTG+1 calls $4.5, CO folds, Button calls $4.5, Hero calls $3.5, BB folds. (Lots of callers so i might as well take a peek)

Flop: ($20, 4 players)
Hero checks, UTG bets $10, UTG+1 calls $10, Button folds, Hero raises to $60, UTG folds, UTG+1 calls $50. (was this bet too big? I really just wanted the pot here and now, but this mightve been wrong)

Turn: ($150, 2 players)
Hero checks, UTG+1 is all-in $101.3, Hero calls $101.3. (Not the best turn, but if he DID make the straight I have 9 outs + maybe my 9 flush outs)

River: ($352.6, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: $352.6)

(the money card, I cheer a lot!. Then he turns over 2x 6d 7d 8x of course)
But never mind that, could I have played this better/differently (except fold preflop...)?
Or was it just one of those **** happens hands?

Results:
Final pot: $352.6

Yeah I'm not in any way an experienced PLO player but Omaha is considered to be THE position game. You're in the worst possible position facing a raise preflop. Your hand looks cute but...

-A low pair is likely to end up as bottom or middle set
-Being suited isn't very cool when it is 7 high
-Any straight is unlikely to be the nuts

You have three features all of which are practically unable to produce the nuts but very likely to produce a trap hand, and you're in the worst position.

On that flop, imagine someone holding , how does your hand look now? You could be practically drawing dead against ONE opponent.

I am not PLO expert but I would fold pre-flop and I think the rest of the hand plays its self.

I'd have to fold the turn there, even shorthanded with loose players, what could you really beat at that point?
On the river obviously it's impossible to get away from that. tough break.
