Quick reality check if I am really that bad ...

I guess there is a strong argument to x/c river instead of shoving and there are def some rivers (J-A) I am probably x/f (vs a shove) and cry. But even when the 7 isn't a really great card for us, as played my line is fine or?

Think exploitatively going for the XR OTT is best. By barrelling turn you fold out draws and get called by Tx that have plenty of equity.

As played I see nothing wrong with jamming river for value although it looks very strong and good players could find a fold with trips.

I guess XC OTT and again OTR can work vs villains who are aggressive enough

Thanks for your advice, it's deeply appreciated. I never thought about x/r OTT because I was just focused on value betting against the fish but now I see the merit of it. Thanks again!

A real update is coming soon, but I am just not playing a lot of poker at the moment because life outside of poker continues to be super rough. I am just playing for one hour here or there to free my mind for a bit. It is what it is but there is no need to force myself to put in volume when I have so much other **** on my mind.

Anyway, in the meantime another hand.


In PLO, sometimes it's not enough to flop EVERYTHING ...


Villian is 46/12 (28 hands)

1) I do not think that's a spot where your average PLO2 player is bluffing a lot and I block some of his bluffs?
2) I guess I am never good here because his line screams like 9 7 / 4 7, K with BD hearts or Q T ?
