home game...hero has tighter image and covers everyone and villain plays bigger games

effective stacks on avg are about 200bb deep.

5-5-15 (straddle) we are 10 handed

villain1 utg open pots it to 55 (stack of 1k), folds to cutoff v2 who calls 55 (stack of 800), button calls v3 55 (stack of 1400) and action is on hero in SB who looks at A5A7 (stack of 2400) and i elect just to call

i would normally repot here but i am sure everyone will fold to me repotting as ive seen in the past

v1 is more of an aggro player that is in for 3k in only 1 hour
v2 is a tighter player that doesnt really play plo but we just switched to it from nlhe and he will get it in with sucker end of draws
v3 is an aggro player who will call pre with any 4 cards to see a flop semi cheap

flop KAQ pots about 220

action on hero...are we ever open potting it here and why?

Gii

i'm never flatting this pre, hard to imagine your 3bet oop will get everyone to fold.

I would imagine everyone folding to you is better than them calling.

So you elect to flat because you don't want to pick up $190 (38bb) in dead money variance free? Take a minute and read that again

based on this read are u potting pre hands like 2227?

Not to mention it makes zero sense to expect everyone to fold. If you can truly expect this to happen a large % of the time, you should be 3betting the crap out of them.

If you're not confident to play bloated pots OOP, or you're trying to reduce the variance cause you're not properly rolled, there's no harm in saying so.

ya that flat pre is pretty bad dude

dont play plo anymore

wow lol. i told him i was going to repot him pre and he told me he would of folded. he had KKxx one suited.

so if we repot, and then he repots we are always getting it in here?

sick level

idk y these people play plo if they worry about getting AIPF w/ AAds. Honestly don't know how they have 2k to their name and know how to find the casino too

can i come to this game

touché

WHERE IS THIS GAME

I really think electing to bet the flop here is a mistake.

Made me lol

Who's trolling here?

Si

easy 3bet now check

Wtf? If you believe everyone will fold to a repot by you (which I highly doubt...) you should be potting alot worse aces including these ones...

Takin down $190 pre uncontested is waaaay beyond your average winrate with any AA type hands in PLO...

Also, I'd be certain more people will call, and in that case this is a perfect scenario to pot it which is $295...leaving us with a ~1 SPR if we get 1 caller or less with more callers.

horrible to play it that way pre IMO...not going to consider postflop


PS: I'll pay the table 5bb/100 to let me play in this game...invite please?

sure pm me your info ill bring you with me tonight

Aces in PLO get easier to play the shallower the pot, and the more suited you are (flop FD+GI, easy)

Opportunities to make the pot shallow with double suited ACES are not to be refused, yeh there's a chance you might get it in 4 ways and have a less than 50% chance of actually winning the pot but you can slide your chips in, sit back, take a sip of your drink safe in the knowledge that you've made a very good bet (certainly no-one else in this pot has made more theoretical money than you!).

Next time you're facing a turn c/r ALL-IN with no real idea whether you should call or fold think back to this brilliant moment when there was one, and one alone glaringly profitable move. Doesn't really get much easier than this, poker.

if anyone cares, i got it in 5x over the weekend with DS aces preflop, reraising pot etc. outcomes dont really matter
