Seriously, in all the hands I've played, I've never seen more of an instabet. Villain is 27/5 thru 20 hands.

Fold. Villains line is very strange, but big river bluffs are rare at PLO100 unless you've been way too agressive.

I agree his line is strange but what actual hand beats me here that doesn't raise turn?

Meh, I'd probably look him up. It seems weird for a weak boat to instapot here without even thinking about a smaller bet and a strong boat's not really consistent with his action on previous streets. He could always have donkishly played quads or something, but I think you'll see a bluff enough to turn a profit.

It would help to know your image/play style a little though, and also villain's postflop aggression is more important that his preflop stats for a read here.

Wow, this line looks really airy, especially the snap river bet.

I posted a similar hand where I looked up a snap river pot with a marginal hand and caught air. This really looks like a busted multi-draw.

Folding isn't bad at all here but if there's a spot to call down light I think this is it. Flow of play is huge in making this decision though.

I rather look him up here than fold, even against an unknown.

I expect a busted straight draw.

I'd usually call it too.

Usually I'm folding here, smells like a set that turned a full house.

However snap-pot-bet is usually weakness and if I've seen a particular player potting around it is a good idea to call him down to put him back in place. If this is such a case you have to decide for yourself.. the more sure you feel the more likely a call, if you're less sure then give it less weight and fold.
