Hmm, I expect him to basically be priced in since it's $130 to win $390. However you're probably right that a call is better. I'm wondering if I can get away from the hand though... I mean it is a 4 to a straight board =/
On the bright side, today was my best day in my entire poker career. Played at the Bike. Up $5.7k!
Bought in for 160bb at 5-5 (buyins $300-$1000), immediately doubled up with Q

vs. a rich fish who didn't hesitate to stack off on the flop (single raised pot, I uncharacteristically flatted pre). Sitting with 320bb or so, I doubled up in the very next orbit where I 3-bet to $80 with AA, a pretty aggro guy flats with KK, original raiser (villain from first hand) ships all in for about $250 with 85s (lol), I 5-bet to $400, aggro guy jams all in for $1600. Played some good poker in general and ran up $500 more before I left for lunch.
When I got back I was 2nd on the waitlist for the same game (different table), the guy asked me if I wanted to play the 1/2 game while I waited. I opted to play 5-5 PLO instead, which I later found out was 5-5-10. Bought in for $1000, took my free orbit (I'm a nit who always leaves UTG), on my very last hand UTG I limp A

, some guy makes it $50 from MP-ish, 1 guy in the blinds calls. Both villains cover me.

Big blinds checks, I am thinking while MP acts out of turn and bets $115. Big blind pots, I jam. Both also jam.

WELL THATS COOL. I don't want to leave immediately after winning that pot so I play some more PLO, mostly breaking even. Flopped top set with JJxx on J86 two tone and potted it in a 4 way pot, everyone folded.
Back at hold'em... I 3-bet to $70 from CO vs HJ, very active player UTG limp-4-bets to $230, HJ folds, I 5-bet jam AKo for $1000 total. UTG folds. I pretty much have no experience in 4-bets much less 5-bets, is sizing ok??
Hooray for rungood.
