Comments on a couple of PLO hands

Here's a couple for Skillz. In the second hand I lost to runner runner
quads after flopping a set. This is why I only play with 10% or less of my
bankroll on a table. Notice the time stamps as I was multi-tabling.

No.

It's an easy fold by a semi-logical player.

In the first hand after getting called twice on the turn you have to
seriously ask yourself what hands they might have and think hard about a
check/call on the river.
