** Hold em or Fold em?

Wow, what a tough spot. If you've done the math so far, there is $750 in the pot preflop and there are three of us interested in this pot. I could just fold and lose $120, but that just seems so weak to me. I could re-raise all-in and hope that my draw gets there, but then that might scare away lastochka777. But then again, do I really want him calling? What if he has KsTs or Ks9s? Hands that he definitely might have in that spot. I decided to flat call, hoping that lastochka would go all-in, thus making DC10Ball4_20 go all-in as well as myself, that way I would get good bang for my buck, and I was just hoping I was the only one with a flush draw.

** Hold em or Fold em?

Aww fuck! That really sucks. I was planning on calling all-in on the river if it was a rag, based on how much money is in the pot, but this was the worst possible thing that could have happened! I can't possibly be good, even if I catch, even though its only $649 more to me.

Nice hand and nice plays. You should report lastochka for an OBVIOUS fake disconnect. So unfair. The play you made is a common PLO play, kind of like a stop and go. With a huge draw like that you know you are going with it, but if the board pairs you can save a little bit of scratch.
