Maybe the next spot im going to describe isnt much of a semi bluffing spot, but more of a general flop play but I would still like to know how you would continue here.
100bb stacks 6max zoom 2PLO
CO: unknown
Folds to CO who pots it, only BB (hero) calls
Flop: Q
7
4
CO: Bets 65% pot, bb: ?
Do you have a x/r range on a dry flop like this?
I try to x/r these flops somewhat often as most of the players at 2PLO played NLHE before and just cbet any dry flop like this one so I don't think their range isnt really biased towards value in this spot
A: Hero (bb) has: QJxx: (hh,ss,cc)
B: " " : 77xx (no bdfd)
C: " " : 568x: (hh,ss,cc)
D: " " : Q7xx (no bdfd)
E: " " : 74xx (no bdfd)
F: " " : 7xxx: (hh,ss,cc)
What is your flop strategy for these hands? I think I would x/c all A-E ~60-70% of the time while x/r the other 30-40%. For hand F I think I would x/f 80% of the time but I think we can also x/r this hand profitably around 20% of the time given the cbetting frequency of the general player pool on this flop and because we block some of his 2p type of hands.
Again, I dont think I'm really describing semi bluff x/r situations like the ones youre talking about but I keep hearing from good plo players that an aggresive flop strategy is very important, so I think its important to discuss spots like these.
