PL o H/L hand, I get A367 ds on the button, I limp along with 4 others.

Flop comes 45J, giving me the nut flush, nut straight and second nut low draws, I bet out right?

I get 2 callers and only end up with 250TC (a pitance) after it comes runnign threes to fill up the guy who called (and reraised allin) with 55xx 3 suited, and the guy who called both bets (all-in) with A2xx 4 suited.

Who got un/lucky here?

ARRRRRGGGG NOW I KNOW WHY I HATE PL O8B TOURNYS! EVery body sucks! They call with longshot crap and hit! ARG. You can't reload! ARRRG!. These guys are worse than the cash players at the micro limits! ARG!

Honestly guys, I would like some input on this hand.

I checked, I even got a shortcut on my desktop, its for High only, hopefully the're spitting out a split one soon.

Caveat: I've never...NEVER...played H/L pot-limit. Just the concept sounds like the closest thing you can get to the lotto with a deck of cards (well, aside from no-limit H/L). Anyhow, this is just based on what common sense tells me, not r/l experience...I'm strictly a limit H/L player.

Now, with that out of the way and all the draws that you've got, heck yes you have to bet and then call when it gets pushed all-in on you. It's a basic "Rule of 13" situation -- you've easily got more than 13 outs to what you feel will be a winning hand, so you're justified in calling a pot-sized bet. You could argue that the rule of 13 doesn't apply here like it does in straight Omaha because of the possibility of a split pot (and from a theoretical standpoint, I think you'd be right, but that's a discussion for another thread), but once a third person jumps into the fray you're definitely covered and the play becomes a longterm winner in this never-ending poker game we play.

Bad break.
