Hey guys,

still learning PLO so no hate please (:
Was playin a local PLO game with a single 1€ blind for the heck of it.
was doing quite good at beginning but last hour dropped about 130€ due to a cold deck :-/

very limpy fishy game villain 1 in this hand has come to the table about an hour ago bought in for 50€ and has about 450€ now. is an arabian looking guy who has loads of money and usually plays up to PLO/NL 5000 in illegal rounds.
V2 is a younger german who is a semi decent player in NL, no idea how good his PLO is.

we got 70€ to start the hand V1 has 450,V2 has about 150€-200€

6 limpers infront we look down at Q678 ddss and limp (?) in cutoff.

V1 is in BB and checks.

flop: 3d5h9c rainbow ( pot 9€ )

V1 leads 9 € , V2 flats folded to me and I ? (pot 27€ now)

a) flat
b) pot it to 45 €
c) raise to xx


not really considering folding in this hand.

Flat with great drawing odds. U only have a 13-card wrap. It is not strong enough to raise pot with your short stack. If u pot it, u will get committed at your stack size and figure to be trailing/flipping vs any hand that calls u. U have position and several good things can happen on the turn: u pick up a flush draw, u make your straight and have a freeroll to a better straight, everybody checks to you, etc.

Also V2's call rep a draw and u have a draw that dominates a lot of draws on this board so you want to keep him in.

Fold pre, Q678 DS is pretty sucky 6/7 way.

Nut peddle these games.

I would agree to a fold because of OP's short stack.

You still stick to a fold, even IP, if most villains were laggards and the eff. avg stack is about 300BBs?

ok thanks for the input guys. how spewy is poting it here versus flatting? obv we are committing ourself then

It is OK, but I think flatting is better against this type of villain.

I would pot here on the flop and look to get it in if raised. Yes we are committing ourselves, but with a short stack we can't play this hand passive. We need to get it in early before we hit our card to ensure a double up.

Getting it all in here doesn't somehow give us the winning hand at showdown.
