Villain is a good thinking reg on anon site. BB has been pretty loose passive. Anonymous site.

All streets questionable.

Speaking of loose passive, calling that out of the small blind is lighting money on fire. Especially with your stack size.

What was your thinking with the river bet? Hoping to get value from AA/KK ?

I guess the only thing you beat on the river is a missed flush draw, seems like an unlikely spot for trips to be good.

Yeah too lose to defend SB with this stack size. SPR will be low and this hand rarely flops enough strong equity to go with or rather puts you in a lot of bad situations with dominated draws etc.

All streets questionable [x]

Flop is pretty good

Turn, not a fan of barreling. BB is way more likely to show up with a hand that has 43 in it, we can't get value on really any river but an offsuit 7 as well. Check/jamming would be a better play, and I'm not thrilled about doing that either.

River, bet calling is absolute suicide. Top two and Raggy KK/AA hands pay off maybe? And then once you're jammed, you block a lot of the bluffs, not a lot of the value, and you're probably near the bottom of your river value range. Literally nothing makes me think bet calling could be a good idea here.

But really this is a fold pre. Yes, PPT says it's a top 28% hand 3 handed PLO, but it'll just be too hard to realize. If we want to play, I'd rather come in for a 3 bet.
