Hi all,

5/5/15 PLO5. Hero raises over fun V EP limp with AcAdJh7h3c, three calls, V l/rr $100, hero $485, folds to V who calls. $1,200 eff. now. V is in for heaps and just rebought.

Pot ($1,100): 68Thhs, V open rips. Hero? In the past, V has GII with pair and pair+fd in similar situations but with somewhat less to play with behind.

Thanks,
DT

all in

Villain is jamming for 700? Trivial call

E z call

He jammed for about pot actually. $1,200 eff. after the 4!. He started with $1,700. Still trivial?

I don't play 5 card, but that is an awful flop and he has to be ahead of you at least %wise if not already ahead .

We have J7 for gutter and back up fd just in case, and AA ofc. 7 blocker to the nuts. And this V has gotten it in light before. I mean...what makes you say this is an "awful" flop?

I like saying, "Stack to Pot Ratio SPR." However, yesterday I was reading some posts and someone wrote, "breakeven equity all-in on the flop."

No matter how you like to word things or think of things, it's all good. For this post I'll go with the "breakeven equity all-in on the flop" wording and say you need about 33%. In terms of equity, I think you are behind V unless he never looked at his cards at any point in this hand. But you have enough "breakeven equity all-in on the flop" to stay in the hand. I can think of scenarios where you are 50-50, 45-55, 40-60, 33-67 or 15-85. The death blow is only the 15%-85% where V has the straight with a flush draw higher than yours. Furthermore, you said V was a fun player, you lean a little towards giving them action knowing that if you lose, you will get an easy enough chance to win it back.

Re: your question

Not trivial but still standard. Villain is probably shoving like 80% or more of his hands. We need like 31%, have a flush draw and even block the nut straight. We will sometimes be a small equity favorite. I'n assuming no backdoor flush draw from OP.

Hero also has the only flush draw on flop between 60-65% of the time - we shouldn't be too afraid of coolers, and can even bink some big straights/FH on favorable runouts despite getting it in bad.

Even it a very tight player shoves here, we still may decide to call it off.

I overlimp pre. Gii as played

Interesting.

The biggest pre-flop difference between how to play 5-card versus 4-card might end up being how to play "bad" AA.

In 6card i open fold the bad AA
