Well, I was taking a break and have recently become somewhat interested in PLO, played a bunch of ring and have done fairly well and started playing some tourneys and SnGs. I have been doing amazingly well in SnGs, I just play great starting hands and push with the nuts or near nuts and it works I get callled .

Well here was a hand near the end of a SnG

PokerStars 10 +1 SnG, Blinds 75/150

Seat 1: Hero (10840 in chips)
Seat 5: BB (1025 in chips)
Seat 6: Button (1635 in chips)

Preflop: Hero is SB with , , , .

Button raises to 300, Hero raises to 450, BB raises all in, Button raises all in, Hero calls

I was a huge stack at this point, and figured I was ahead of their hands, though not by much. Was this the right play to make? Both these players were marginal, they made alot of weird calls earlier and I was stealing alot. I thought about letting them beat each other up and take of the winner for 1st place, but I decided to try and finish it off here.

I'm not a great PLO player, and PTO has me pretty rockish, but, I fold that without thinking to a raise. Then Epsecially to an all-in.

EDIT: Ok, thought its PLO8, and then its SH. I dunno, maybe.....

yeah it's PLO high

Still not quite used to PL, I guess I should have potted it instead of just hitting the raise button. I still thought It would be enough to force out the BB, since I assumed he would rather finish 2nd than 3rd.

with that kind of chip edge you can push this hand strong. BUT, be the one doing the pushing, you don't want to play this 3 handed and you would be better to put the button to the test for all his chips instead of him being the aggressor.
