Horseshoe Hammond. 1/2/5 to go PLO live. Hero hasn't played plo at the casino for about 3 months, and when I left it was max 300 buy in, it now appears to be Max 500, but bought in for 300 at previous table. Hero just got to table about two orbits ago. Table is incredibly deep, as I came from the feeder and was card dead there.
In the past four hands, hero has been all in preflop to double up with short stack, then came over the top of the older/nittier looking player at the table in the very next hand to move stack up to something reasonable.
Hero(CO ~350)
V1(CO+1 ~500) is probably drunk, playing most hands, and just rebought for the max about a hand ago. In this particular hand, announces that he is raising blind no matter what, it just depends on the number of callers.
V2(BUT ~600) Was at feeder with hero earlier, but bought in for the minimum and didn't get out of line or showdown anything memorable. Regular however from what I can tell.
V3(SB ~1000) tight nitty older guy from hand described above. Has limped, but only played a few pots for a raise, and when he has he has shown down sets only. Clearly range weighted towards pair hands, pair+fd and broadway connectors above lower sc. Has played his sets strong and fast. But not much to go on.
1 limp in mp, v1 says "well I guess it's 20 then!" and blind raises to 20. Has not looked at his cards, I was watching.
I feel like i can call and play the hand comfortably from decent position, so my plan is to call with most anything, expecting to get at least two callers and probably no raises.
Hero: Ac9cJs2s calls 20. Button and sb call.
Flop(5 players, ~$105): 345r.
Sb leads for pot($105), mp folds, original raiser folds...
I put sb on a set honestly, I've seen him play it this way very recently, and he's much more likely to have AJ55 than 5567, but of course both are very possible.
Hero..? Getting nothing from button tell-wise, but he would absolutely play small suited connectors, pairs, medium connectors, runs the gamut.
They changed it to max 500? I checked it like a month ago and it was still 300..
I don't play FR plo much, but with button left to act (and SB leading into the field of 5 players) I don't think folding is terrible. We have the 3rd nut straight, no redraw (let aside backdoor flush), so we're either 65-35 ahead or drawing dead. And the fact that the board is rainbow makes me lean toward a fold as well.

its been 500 for about 3 months...I have seen the game play INSANELY deep. On multiple occasions I have seen 2-3 players with 2500$ stacks and others around 1k.
There as been one dude there who seems to just be crushing the game over the last few weeks...bout 6'2", biggg belly, backwards black hat, looks sleepy alot of the time...seen him cash out a handful of times with a full barrel of black and a rack of red (bout 2500$ total)
