also i can guesstimate the ev of this hand once raised and put into hu pots / multi way pots, etc pretty accurately but equating the value of fish raising "a lot" when people limp, raise to him, etc is impossible. a lot is not something i quantify without knowing who i am playing with.

in my experience the jump from 5/10 to 5/10/100 is huge and tightens ranges really significantly for regs as they have to play for stacks with a much higher freq and how live regs will avoid 55/45 races at all costs to realize some greater post flop edge theyve convinced themselves that they have which they base on what equates to nothing concrete, everything assumed.

also i was wrong when i said "very bad" i made an incorrect assumption in something i did to come to that conclusion
I have a feeling I'm not gonna like it, but what was this assumption? Something along the lines of "that hero wouldn't be WOAT post flop, making playing a smaller pot inherently better/less damaging than playing a big one ?"

In live FR PLO, you have people limp/calling AT62 no suit and stacking off with top/bottom on T86 flops. (Barely exaggerated to make a point)

In the actual hand you just have a nut scenario where it's almost as if you are colluding with CO. You have a "big" hand, he blind puts $100 in, you flat, dead monies is created between you 95% of the time, he pots you pot or someone else pots he calls you pot w/e easy game.

One of the counters to this would be "a lot of stuff has to happen perfectly in that scenario, just raise your value hand ABC style and play poker". Again this is live poker where we have very predictable villains. People will call, villain will tilt raise, both at a very high frequency.

The $100 is not big at all and I'm very surprised it ended up heads up. Again not sure everyone is familiar with live PLO dynamics but a blind $100 straddle is not uncommon in the games I play nor are $25/$50/$100 re-straddles. I can guarantee you no one made any "tight folds" or anything or thought the game just got big for one hand or anything of the sort. If anything someone tank folded AT62 wishing the ace was suited.
The wizard who said 320 pre is half online plo wizard/half lol live pro like us. I agree though that strictly online nerds would have a really hard time weighing in properly here given the crazy live dynamic (rich, bi-polar player steaming his balls off and 10x straddling the co).

Yeah, this is what I was struggling with most. My sample in plo is so small that I've only seen river pot with nut flushes/blocker air on boards like this. You are right though.

I feel like his hand is close to that threshold but I'm not sure which side it is on. It seems like with slightly more connectivity i.e. AAKT or AAQ9 it would be an easy raise so perhaps with this hand raising barely beats limping. I think AA92 would be a limp, and it seems like the difference between AAK9 and AA92 is pretty subtle. I could be wrong about that, though.
See I wasn't even thinking along these lines. I was (incorrectly) assuming that my hand was best hu ip with as small a spr as possible heading to the flop.

It would prob serve me well to acquire some understanding of the plo pf hand rankings and how they play best post flop.

All this limping talk IP with this hand makes me very confused.
Hi Imaginary,

I'm not going to comment on the merits of min-raising cuz I don't know (likely it achieves the same result as potting though--> hu vs the co who is going to be pretty inelastic pre). And I hadn't even thought about this hand being better to play multiway and/or with a higher spr (obv if renton's on that vibe it's something to at least look at pretty closely). I was just saying limp as a logical adjustment to having a hand that is sweet all in against a random hand with a serious tilter behind you who is going to 2bet/call an insane amount (wrt frequency and total dollars), but is unlikely to 3bet without a really good hand. And if one or more of the 7 people between you and him pre vpip, it's almost guaranteed your master plan will work.

So I could get behind the raising idea more for the sheer fact we are temp. UTG here and best case we create dead money between us and tiltee and he repots worst case we have a ok value hand OTB in a pot we've started to build vs afc.

I agree with Renton also Id much rather raise better premiums here (like JT98sshh) and this to me is on the threshold (actually below it imo)

Also since everyone is disclaiming I will say like dgaf I only play this godforsaken game when I have to...but I do study it and am at the very least quite familiar with live dynamics. I am also friends with 2 live HSPLO crushers who taught me the basics. When I was first starting out, one told me to not have an opening range pre.
Seriously. It's so hard to win a pot without the best hand in this game!

DGAF the basic idea is that with bad aces like AA72 rainbow a huge majority of your equity will be distributed to flops where you have just an overpair, and when the SPR is high enough, it will be very hard to realize the equity of that overpair. So with that hand you want an SPR as high as possible to increase the top set value of your hand. Limping creates a situation where you get 1) to see the cheapest flop possible against the maximum number of players against which to flop top set, or 2) you get to limp reraise and put >40% of your stack in as an equity favorite.

The just-an-overpair flop for AA** is often unprofitable, but even adding a gutter can influence the equities enough to make it profitable. So AAK9ss is a lot better for raising than AA72 since overpair + nfd is usually playable for stacks in a raised pot. AAK4ss or AAQ9ss would be better still since they flop more straights and gutters.

Absurdly, you are in fact an equity dog on this flop vs QdJdT6?

That's how sick this game is.

Makes a lot of sense. Thanks as always. Hope you make it out to the Vegas meet up this year.
