I'm a complete PLO amatuer (until I get around to learning it after I learn Stud) but isn't a push here the best situation for the nut straight-flush? With that board and hero having the Nut-flush draw, what could two people possibly be flat calling you with? Boosted has checked, seen a bet and a call. Hero has bet with the nut-flush and someone call. This means that Boosted has to know that he is against a set + set, set + flush or flush + flush. This way he can push and have a reasonable chance of getting at least one caller (possibly two depending on the strength of their hands and redraws). The only questionable thing I see here is the large amount of a check-shove. It seems to me that Boosted has made it an either/or situation with the large amount of money he is pushing with. With less money in front of him a check-shove would work but with the amount he has, surely it would have been better with a check-raise and see what happens?

Ok, maybe I'm totally lost.

boosted is getting one caller the 1st bettor left him self to short to fold to any bet and has shown having the Ace flush with his betting so why give barry a reason to fold middle to bottom set maybe top seeing its his entire stack only one card to come with flushes and str8s out there by just calling it gives barry a shot at boating and the only stack boosted should be wondering how to get in is barrys the bettors calling no matter what, boosted wasnt thinking and won little as possible here.


edit i just dont think people are thinking of barry hes going to beable to fold alot of big hands in this spot. the man lives to get away from big hands

What would a pro do on that flop with the nutset?
