Pushing my Luck at PLO

$5-$5 PLO: KQ54 double suited in the small blind. Call $15 PF. Pot: $60.

Flop: 632. Hello there, nut straight. Someone is not going to be happy (but it might be me...) I figure I can't just bet it, what fun would that be? Let's have a little fun instead (check). Bet from the end of $60, 1 other caller, I call.

Turn: (632) 9. This is a good card. I check again and the original better tries $200. I come over the top for $600 and he looks at me like "how could that have helped?!" He calls the $600.

River: (6329) Q Another beatiful "clean" card. Amazingly, my naked nut straight held up the whole way. I launch the rest of my chips into the pot, maybe $575 or so. He doesn't like it but calls and berates me for not betting the nut straight on the flop when he sees it.

He's basically right; it's amazing the kind of trouble you can get into flopping the nut straight. It's trouble. But it was a fun hand.

flopped nut straight holds up? you’re a fucking liar, that cant happen, its not
possible. lol you should have check raised the shit out of it! and checking is
not so bad, as long as you are good enough to lay it down on the turn.
