I"m not a proponent or re-potting pre-flop with "just" a speculative low hand but opinions differ.

I am sure you are aware that PLO / PLO8 is a drawing game..it"s not about bloating the pot pre-flop, it"s about trying to price out the draws and/or extracting value once we know where you are once the flop comes down.

This is true more in PLO8 than in PLO hence I"d prefer flatting pre-flop to the re-pop.

However, with your history against this villain your pre-flop re-pop (hey, that rhymes!) does not seem unreasonable with your hand.

However, once that flop comes down I"d be folding too. You have little or no chance of making anything other than a backdoor low and, potentially, getting quartered.

Just flat pre IMO and get it in on favourable flops.

Agree with the above. If you had something like AK23 I"d pot it pre, but with low only I"m going to take a peek at the flop first.

I"d be prepared to jam on that flop as he"s shown the ability to drop a hand previously and it"s not the prettiest flop for any hand that called your pfrr.  At worst you"re tournie runner up and that"s always worth a cheeky brag :)
