thanks guys, i suppose i was worrying too much about the possibility of drawing nearly dead.

I cbet smaller to make him dump his many non A-hands. I dont think folding equity increases almost at all, by betting big here. Turn sizing depends what we hit and how willing we are to fire the river UI. But I rather fire 3 barrels than 2.

Is the river bet ok?
My first thought is they have underboats more than nuts, on a second thought, I think most of these 55% vpip fishes simply lead out on paired river with non-nut boats, but when they have total nuts or quads they make a very bad attempt to checkraise. Now I don't know which of thought should gain more weight.

Im new in Omaha and would like to know ur opinion about best play here in vacuum. I mean c/c looks weak, b/c is like overplaying our hand, bet and think over ott if we get called? is b/f standart play?

Yeah, he was so passive I guess I gave 66 and 55 more weight on the flop than two pair.

How much we like medium top pair?

He can have sooo much different type of stuff it was very hard to evaluate my equity.

Not folding this

I like pre & flop if you called. You can't fold that much equity given the great price you're getting combined with how loose/bad villain is, if the 50/45 flopped a set so be it.
Do some stoving vs reasonable ranges, I'd say he has overpears, 9x, could have a low wrap, 2p & some sets too I guess.



It's opponent dependent. B/f is the standard, but it does depend a tonne on villain. You can b/f vs weak & passive opponents. I wouldn't b/c vs anyone.
c/c vs the right villain is viable for sure, like if he's the type who'll fire two then give up river cause he thinks you have it too often/aren't folding then go for c/c, but readless, keep it simple, you can't go too far wrong with b/f.

I don't think this one is worthy of it's own thread.
Villain is 44/21, not differentiating by position.
I opted to fire two rather than one or three cause I see bad villains sometimes take this line with overpears. It doesn't make much sense but I think often they wanna get to showdown cheap & will c/c one otf & give up turn cause "I have it"
Once he calls turn he has like, scared sets that are now slowplaying (?), op+fd, 5x or the lower straight (?)
But I could be mis reading his range on this board, hence the post, thoughts?

i wouldnt bet flop and give up ott

yea b/f

This was a weird hand for me.
Villain is 71/29 over <20 hands. I think cbetting here is mandatory, vs most villains with his stats we won't get c/r without them having a made hand, which he doesn't have often cause of his stats.
I'd say, my 6+K are often good when I turn em, my is good, a 5 gives me the nuts & I'd say a T will be good a high % of the time too.

Once he c/r then checks what do you think he has, if he had a draw I'd expect him to bet again, the same with a made hand obv. So I sort of thought he had a weak draw that wanted to see the river cheap or pure air. Given the board texture I'd say he could have a bare straight draw or weak fd that went for a bluff?
I tried to take it down ott for cheep but I'm not mad about it cause if he has a 9 he's ahead, if I had a J I'd be fine with vbetting but as it is I'm rarely vbetting so imo check back is good.

Any river thoughts? It seems given my above assessment that maybe I should bluff, but I'm afraid the way it ran out+his stats that he'll call me very light, like 9x.




Thoughts?

ship flop, check turn

Villain is unknown. ez call?

I play it the same. He should have a lot of semibluffs, and you have bdfd.

I thought my straight draw was to ****ty on this board, plus my 6 only works with a K or another 6 if he has 2p. Or does my decent fd somewhat compensate for that cause he'll have a dominated fd sometimes?

not much wrong done SPR being what, 3+? Ok to ship imo

i'm folding to raise in LostEmail hand

Commited, gotta go with it.

I'd bet bigger on flop. I don't want to end up turn with that hand

LostEmail´s hand. Don´t 3bet you don´t want to bloat the pot 3way with those crappy aces and you can´t get enough of your stack in on the flop. Fold to flop raise on this dry if it where a suited flopp I would shove. If the villian usually bluffraise this dry flops it´s ok to shove.

quick questions:
how much buyins you recommend for plo100?
is it much tougher then plo50?

Two questions. Does anybody else do stuff like this pre? No stats on villain.
I think flop is a std bet but how much to bet?
