Party Poker $400.00 Pot Limit Omaha Hi - 6 players
The Official 2+2 Hand Converter Powered By DeucesCracked.com

CO: $1021.90
Hero (BTN): $457.00
SB: $98.60
BB: $605.40
UTG: $588.80
MP: $910.20

Pre Flop: ($6.00) Hero is BTN with Q

2 folds, CO raises to $14, Hero raises to $48, 1 fold, BB calls $44, CO calls $34

Flop: ($146.00) J

(3 players)
BB checks, CO checks, Hero bets $108.00, BB calls $108, CO folds

Turn: ($362.00) 4

(2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $301.00

Flop is a bet call vs one player, right? Cold caller is a huge monkeuy, 92/15 any 4, CO is 31/18 decent regular, too passive/doesnt fold enough pre to 3 bets imo

I think this could be a worthwhile thread.

It looks good to me.

I'd rather check the turn vs. a huge monkey, I don't think he is folding much.

In the moment there's a fair chance I'd probably play it the same, but against this huge monkey and given its 3-way I think maybe it's best to check behind on the flop. The lack of a pair in our hand is a bit of a concern because fishy players like this will call with stuff like two-pair or a pair and a flush draw which (I think) have a fair bit of equity against us. I wouldn't be too worried about the CO bluffing us out if he's decent and knows BB is coming along with a lot of hands in a spot like this.

I like the bet sizing though to give us an almost 3/4 bet on the flop and a good sized shove on the turn.

bet if you think you can fold out two pair hands. Guess even a monkey would fold onepair hands without a FD here right? Also if you can fold out quite a bit this bet is good. Im only checking here if this guy just calls down everything
