My thoughts on the hand:
Preflop: Obviously this hand isn't gonna win many low pots but with two suited aces I feel like playing the hand is at least worth playing.
Potting it preflop - Is this any different from a standard 3x UTG?
Flop: With two flat calls from the blinds followed by two checks I'm not super threatened by their ranges hitting this flop better than I have (At the micros people tend to play their hand face up and being in position I would have expected have faced a bet if this connected with their hand in a major way) and while the 7 obviously counterfeits my already exceptionally weak low draw I did flop the 2nd nut high so I'm feel reasonably confident and a chop pot would even be fine with the dead money from the 3rd player overcoming the rake.
Not sure how about I feel about my cbet, the original plan was to try and extract some value from flopped 2 pairs, TPTK or TP w/ redraw whilst trying to price out any low draws which obviously have me so nearly dead. Would potting it here have achieved this better? Or a simple check behind?
Turn: Obviously a low card is fairly upsetting whilst completing a really sketchy straight but I'm still feeling okay with my set for at least half the pot so I elect to put my short stacked opponent all in.
Obviously the hand he elected to play was of pretty questionable quality (As shown by my 69.88%:30.12% equity preflop) and he had a pretty dream runout, but was there anyway I could have avoided this?
Hand | Pot equity | Scoops | Wins Hi | Ties Hi | Wins Lo | Ties Lo |
---|
Ac7cAd7d | 69.88% | 641,854 | 755,396 | 0 | 382,144 | 576 |
Ts8dQd5d | 30.12% | 210,322 | 330,612 | 0 | 128,816 | 576 |
This was like my fifth hand so no real reads on opponent other than he was short stacked.
About me - Reasonably new to O8 after getting off the NL boredom and have played about 4000 hands at the micros and am sunrunning a bit (I'm up 4 buyins) but I'd like to think that my play is solid as well as the variance on my side. I'm a bit less comfortable with PLO8 compared to NLO8.
Any thoughts or criticisms are welcome!
Thanks in advance
