Hi everyone,
I had an interesting spot the other night playing very deep plo 8-handed, and was toying with odds oracle to figure out the best play.
2$/4$, 8-handed.
SB, BB and Hero are all effective 1000bb (4000$), other players are around 100-150 bb.
My read on BB is that he is a gambler playing 60/10. overvalues marginal made hands, is interested in playing big pots and feeling the rush. But playing very straightforward in big pots. No big pots have been played yet.
PREFLOP
Hero is UTG with straddle.
Action folds to the CO. CO calls. BTN calls. SB calls. BB pots to 48$.
Hero has 7s 7h 6h 5s. Hero pots to 168$.
CO folds, BTN folds, SB folds. BB raises to 500$. Hero calls.
FLOP
Pot is 1024$, effective SPR is 3.
Flop comes Jc 8s 6d. BB bets 1000$.
Hero tanks. Hero raises to 3000$ and is all-in. BB calls and shows Ad Ac Jd 2h.
1/ Is that hand a good choice to iso preflop given our stacks? Is there another possible sizing pre to get a higher SPR?
2/ When he pots on the flop after 4bet pre, I'm very confident he has exactly all AAxx and nothing else, probably only barring AAJJ, AA88. Is there some merit to just calling and calling any turn or shoving if he checks?
3/ Other comments?
I did change the hand to make it more borderline, the real hand was 8765ds. The runout went turn 5h, river As and that was my biggest pot ever
