Pretty standard but imo my huge mistake is shoving it in OTF with that kind of huge draws and hands. Better b/c the flop and b/shove OTT. I have a hunch that it doesn't matter in that case, only if there would been FD OTF.

U said it ur self. dont get it in on the flop

Two flop spots:
Im really trying to sort my 3b game out as I think a big leak I have is b/f too much in 3b pots when I should either b/c or c/f. Could anyone recommend videos on DC?
Anyway Villain here is 22/14 over 378 hands. Raising 29% from the button, fold to 3b 1/5.
Id put him on decent wraps+fd, AT, tpgk+diamonds & TT/88 if he jams.

We have 36% vs that range which is enough to b/c:

AKd9d, AT, J9dKd, TT, 88	63.41%	5,244,231	137,090

He will call flop/fold turn & fold the flop a decent amount making it profitable given we have the right odds to b/c. Apologies if standard, just really trying to work on the basics!




One more:
Villain hasnt c/r over 5 opportunities. Hes 25/19 reg.
Is the standard here to peel one?

Both hands from the last post are standard (b/c and peel, resp.).

It sounds weird, but I'd fold to the river c/r in post #5675. PLO25 dynamics on monotone boards is ridiculously tight (from my tiny experience, and alas I contribute to that too). Hardly anyone c/r's 2nd flushes or worse for thin value (they're far from yrmoms ). Some LAGs make naked ace bluffs but it's psychologically harder to plan such a bluff ott when a BDFD appears than on a twotone flop (people are taught that most plans should be made otf). Therefore I expect to be shown the nuts more than 75% of the time.

just curious what the best option here on the turn is, to me it felt like an easy c/f but those are the best spots to check so what do you guys think?

Looks like an easy c/f to me.. few reasons;

- Flop is dry, you made a terri-bad huge bet size.. so I assume his flop calling range is pretty narrow; a lot of K***, 45**, gutters+pairs, no floats.

- More likely to have an ace in his hand if he open/called a 3b pre.

- He's unlikely to be turning K*** into a bluff OTT..

Yeah the cbet size felt horrible i'm new to plo/cash games so i just bet quite big in general seeing as it is POT limit omaha. thanks for the feedback though, what size would you cbet here? like $4?

Yeah, $4-6 is fine.

Villain is a straight-forward reg.

Is this kind of line standard or spew?

fold >>> call >>> 3bet pre vs reg, you are often flopping 2nd best draws and that hand is not great even if its ds, hard to flop anything big with it... as played fold
id start 3betting this hand if OR was 40+, vs reg def muck pre

How would we play good/half good kings in that spot, I mean how often are we worried he's havin 45?

Villain is a weak player, playing 46/8 over 37 hands. His VPIP from MP is 57/14 (7). No other reads. How do you play the flop?

i would shove

yep, easy shove

Thanks for your input guys. I probably overanalyze these spots. My only reason for asking is that to me it doesn't seem like a very profitable spot, depending on how we expect villain to play, but it's probably ok. I don't think it's minus ev, though it could be.
However the overall benefit from shoving is that it makes the hand easier to play and we avoid mistakes by realizing our equity and generating fold equity. I just frequently find myself shoving strong but not super strong draws into ranges that are never folding, which can quickly become minus ev.

Zoom PLO25

Shove turn. As played call river.

Why not save those 8 BBs? I'm beating nothing on the river. Even a naked wrap just got there.

The pot is too big, that's why with sd value I shove turn. We only need to be good 4% of the time for our call to be +ev (assuming rake is already deducted from the pot).
You say you beat nothing on the river. You didn't provide any information about the BB, but here are some hands:

t987, asqstd4d, a876ds w ss, q876ds w ss, 9988ds w ss, and anything similar.

If you have some stats on villain just plug in his range for barreling the turn and then look at your equity on the river. I just showed you that it is greater than 0% as t987ss/ds will be in virtually everybodys range for cold calling the BB.

Not sure. I'd probably b/c like a fish unless it was against a super nit (b/f) or an aggro tard (c/c). I don't play HU but that seems like a cooler in a 3b pot 100bbs, yeah?

Too nitty fold given the money left? No read on the guy

yeah he very very likely has you beat here, good fold

Nitty Zoom PLO25. I figured he put me on the standard AA hand and is waiting to take it away on the turn. Plus, I have blockers and outs to everything.

I don't like the preflop 3bet, in fact even a call is borderline (low and medium pairs are not as good as they seem, they just spoil hands; gapped rundowns are way better). The postflop was well played, esp. due to the blockers (you most likely had the best hand but had to protect it and thus get it in on the turn).
