O8

So I've started to learn PLO8. Today was fairly disastrous. I felt like I had huge edges but I dropped 6bi to a shortstacker. UGH! He had no idea of hand values and made so many hero calls when I had the nut low and he had very weak high hands.

Apparently pokerhand.org doesn't support O8. It treats it like an Omaha HI hand so you don't get the proper odds. According to hold'em manager I have 65% equity in this hand.

The opponent was way out of line aggro. I think this is a standard raise pre from my button. I flop a 4way wrap. If this was omaha hi I would be worried about higher wraps, but in O8 I am less worried, because I would make a better low against most higher wraps. I also have a pair of sixes might seem insignificant, but gives me an advantage against hands like A 2 3 x that are drawing to a better low. My opponent donkleads pot. He's way out of line aggro, so I think my shove here is good. I am surprised by his shove, but definitely have the right odds to call. Turns out I have 65% ev and am well ahead.
