I love plo. lol

Pre with your hand I'd just pot it. Much better than making it $2 imo.

Now, I'm hitting the pot button. If he has a set of kings and calls, we still have decent equity with our open ended straight flush draw. This deep I also think we may make him fold KK here but that's obviously villain dependant at these stakes.

With our 88 blockers and him having 3bet pre, he's not going to have a straight very often at all.

I am raising pot here on the flop and calling all in if I have the chance.  Otherwise I am raising all in on the turn and good luck to him.

We has good hand in this spot. Clicking the pot button and being very happy about it too

Pressing the pot button and loving it.

Gettin it in..... quicker then getting it in kim kardashian!

just call imo, don't auto put him on ACES he made a very small 3bet vs an UTG minraise so could very easily and typically be doing this with a rundowny-type hand.

We have the nuts half blocked, a strong draw and the best possible bluff catcher so I'm really for just call turn decide on the river, we're going to have to make some close-ish river decisions but I think letting him take his whole range to the river rather than just isolating ourselves vs KK and T8 here - if he was ever folding KK then i'd be all for jamming as we actually do a lot better vs T8 than KK here, but I think he is never folding either so I'd rather just keep all his hands in bluff catch on the river (or fold sometimes, depending)

The toughest decision you're going to have is value-betting a heart river when checked to.

Nothing wrong with jamming though.

oh and as Cos says, would avoid min-raising UTG in PLO, all it often does is create a loads of multi-way pots where you're OOP to most of the field. I would recommend always POTTING anywhere but the c/o or the btn in 6max PLO as it drastically increases our chances of being IP for the hand.

If you're hand UTG isn't good enough to pot in your opinion then you shouldn't be opening it, the main reason that its so hard to play EP in 6max PLO is because you're almost never in position for the hand, so your only option is to just be playing hands that can play strong OOP (basically stuff with high cards, nut suits and pairs)

Obv 7788single is a fine, fine hand to open for pot UTG, plays nice and easy post flop and you should be pretty comfortable calling a 3bet with it.
