2 Fast, 2 Furious, or just how poker goes?

Commerce Casino, Los Angeles, California. Table 27, 5-5 PLO w/ a rock (buy-in 500-1500), I’m in middle position about UTG+2 from the rock. Two call in front of me. I just stacked off and lost, I’m slightly on tilt and am waiting for a chip runner to turn 15 friendly looking Benjamins into chippies. I glance down at AATT double suited hearts and diamonds. POT! Two people call the $50 open and we are off to a flop, I’m last to act for the rest of the round.

I’m still waiting for chips and I see a dream flop:

T83, with the 8 & 3 of hearts. GIN! Top set, nut flush draw. My day is already looking better.

To my delight, first action leads out for pot! Second player calls, here is my first question: Top set on the board and nut flush draw with nothing better than an open ended straight draw as a possible hand that beats the top set (if it hits) and 2 of the 8 outs are discounted because the heart version would give me a flush. So best case scenario for an opponent is OESD with 6 total outs plus undersets with 1 out each to quads. By my calculations, that is 64% equity in the hand with the left over 36% split between the two opponents, as a worst case scenario. Call, raise less than pot or re-pot?

Based on the title you might have guessed I chose to re-pot. I slip the other 4 benjamins into the pot (still waiting for chips, and had 1 in for the $50 pre) and to my shock and surprise, the first player shoves all in for less and the second players calls (he has me covered).

The table is getting kinda irritated because this is turning into a major pot and I still don’t have chips so they make a stink about it, finally get a runner and the game is kinda paused for a moment as some players finally volunteer to exchange chips for dollars and what not and everything gets rightened up. I can’t really complain, there is a side pot, this a huge 3 way pot, and a lot for the dealer to track.

My plan is to shove pretty much any turn unless it completes and obvious straight draw like a 9, J, or 7. Finally all chips are in place and we see the turn:

Some brick card. 2 or 4 or 5 or something that doesn’t reach straight completion territory with the 8 and 10. Also not a heart or board pair. Second question: check back or jam? I still have the nuts on this 4 card board and a redraw to better nuts two ways (boat/quads & flush). Opponents still have the same outs, plus one extra one-outter should they have hit a set on the turn.

Villain who still has chips checks and I shove as planned. With only one card coming I’m now 82% and feel fairly confident. He asks if I want to run it twice. I have subscribed to Limon’s Run It Twice Bible and if someone asks, the answer is “Whatever you’d like to do is fine” which I am okay with. Obviously, its not like they are for sure drawing dead. 82% is solid, but I’m ok to take two shots. If they hit a straight or quads on one, I might still hold up or improve on the other. Pretty difficult to lose two in this situation.

Naturally, of course, that is what occurs. His open ended straight draw hits the low end on run out 1 and the high end on run out 2. He scooped (the all in for less guy had an underset) and looked surprisingly guilty for about an hour, like he knew exactly how lucky / suck outty he had gotten. Made me want to rip my hair out (on the inside). I don’t fault him as a bad play or anything, the straight draw came from his danglers — he had the other two aces as well, and that was a fairly safe board for aces at the turn.

So final question — is this just a tough beat, too bad next hand — or is this not a hand I should not have pushed so hard for value?

I’d appreciate any thoughts as to how you might have played this type of hand and situation. Obviously, I do tend to play top sets and three-pairs very aggressively, especially when I also have a draw to a strong or nutted 5 card hand and obviously, I don’t mind getting the chips (or bills) into the middle.
