villain is one of the better regs i think, playin 25/14/7.2 ... def has a wider range than AA if he 3 bets IP... i think if we get it in it's not a huge -EV move for me but feel like he has to fold lots of flops and i could obv hit and crush him aswell...

If this is a +EV move it's because of metagame for the future I guess. Interested to see what others say about it

standard. Polarised 4bet range can be very effective, when used wisely.

I don't think the hand is bad or anything, the 9-7 gap isn't ideal, I'd much sooner do it with 9785ds for example, but whatever.

What do you mean by a polarized 3bet range? Like AAxx and lower rundowns only or something?

I think polarizing your 3betting is much more of a NLHE concept, and it would be much better to have a merged range from AA down to like 5678ds or something (obviously not including all the hands in between, but typing out a list of eligible bachelors would be a waste of time). What to 3bet in PLO depends much more on position and opponents than maintaining a polarized range or whatever, and I feel like maintaining a polarized 3betting range means not 3betting a ton of hands that would be +EV to 3bet and would be included in a merged range.

Also, in NL, if you don't polarize to an extent, hands can be completely discounted from your range. This is not true in PLO in the same way, due to the fact that you can have AA with whatever side cards in your 3bet range.

Ermm seems I waffled in a way that is not relevant to the hand posted. Sorry!

I really like it, especially if he's solid and will be folding sometimes to 4-bets.

def like it. it's very gross to c/f this flop, so don't really see anyother way + we have alot of good turncards and bdfd. and also agree on loctus point on metagame issues, if we get to showdown, he knows we are 4b other stuff than aa which is probl good

to bad u ran into ttp+nutfd
