I played a hand Tuesday night that I keep thinking about. Hand occurred at an quasi-legal/frowned upon card game with a full table of 5/5 plo and a full table of 20-40 mixed game of some sort going. Most everyone has played lots of hours with each other. I think IÂ’m viewed as kind of nitty in plo by the whole table except villain who IÂ’ve only played NLHE against.
IÂ’m in CO with 900.
Villain is in sb with 700ish, he says he is waiting on a mixed game seat. IÂ’ve seen him blast a ton of chips in holdem over the years but he chopped a 250k tournament right before lockdown so I assume heÂ’s not awful. IÂ’ve never seen hik play plo.
UTG raised to 15 and flop went 5 ways, I have J
10
8

Flop was 8

pot ($75)
SB checked
Most aggressive player in the game led out 30, two callers to me who made it $240 sb called and everyone else folded.
I raised for 3.5 reasons 1) everyone in hand but sb plays a ton and views me as tight so may have got bottom or middle set to fold.
2) may have also folded out better non-nut flush draws
3) can bomb brick turns to fold out top set repping straight
3.5) iÂ’m stuck about $700 and hadnÂ’t hit anything in two hours and wanted to play a big pot and turn my night around or leave. (I know terrible reason)
SB calls which to me puts him on top set, flopped straight, big wrap or nfd.
IÂ’m in bad shape against straight or top set with better flush draw back up but close with everything else.
Pot ($645)
Turn 2
Villain jams for 450ish.
Do you all think this is a trivial spot either way?
I called still thinking I was in bad shape against top set with better fd or set with better but he likely had straight which I was getting close (actually I entered everything right I had the right price to call). Given IÂ’ve never seem him play plo, he still could have a worse hand than me with a wrap or naked nut flush draw. The only pro in the game told me he thought it was a trivial fold but didnÂ’t explain why. I was really unhappy with the call for a while but IÂ’m not sure I played it that bad.
Sorry so long winded but what do yÂ’all think?
