Damn, must made some misstake when I plugged that hand into PPT (was surprised why I'd only have 21%). Got 41.67% when I did it again.
Yeah, I like the idea of half-potting it. Its an easy call too if he jams given our equity.
Was thinking about raising river, but was a bit worried he would have something like T9 that wanted a cheap show-down but isn't folding so I just called.
Can anyone shed light on how relevant are the PLO from Scratch articles from Donkr for 25PLO in today's game? It's been a while since I played PLO so not really sure.
Hmmm... I suggest you start a thread about this, better chance for a reply. I never read the series myself, but people say it provides great fundamentals, which is the most important thing.
Someone who's played small stakes both then and now would be perfect to answer, the only one I can think of is elrazor. PM him and request a reply to this thread or the new one if you create it.

T9xx would be inducing. It doesn't want a cheap showdown -- it wants the stacks to get in somehow.
100bb deep, CO opens, what hands do you 3b on BTN and what hands do you flat? My VPIP 6max is 15/13 and I feel I should flat more hands IP and take advantage of position. So what hands are suitable for flatting? Here are some marginal hands:
a) KK42r
b) QJ99ss
c) AT83as
d) 8765ss
e) Q985ds
I think hands a,b and maybe c are playable for a flat, while d and e looks like 3bet bluffs. I'm not sure, needs help from more experienced players.
I play 1c/2c up to 5c/10c PLO at Stars, 888, and Betfair. With the majority of my play at 2c/4c is it worth trying to get a rakeback deal at these stakes? Do you have to be new to a site to get rakeback? How do you get rakeback?
Generally speaking, what's the minimum pocket pair needed to set mine in a bloated multi-way pot preflop? 99? I mean when you are getting very good odds. I'm finding myself limping more hands in the 99-KK range multi-way since they are junk if I don't flop a set, and get paid off big if I do. Anything lower and you run the risk of set over setting and getting stacked. Is 99+ a good general rule?
In this situation, should I be more tempted to play hands like JJ26 or TT95, generally complete junk, but playable multi-way and deep stacked due to the implied odds of flopping a set?
Every situation is different and there are a lot of different hands that include pairs 99 through KK. If you're playing a multy-way pot mostly for the set value of your hand I would definitely stick to JJ+. 99-TT hands don't flop top set that often and so your implied odds are not as big. The EV difference between the nuts and the 2nd nuts in a multyway pot is huge. Since flopping a set is a somewhat-infrequent scenario, you really rely on a very high EV when it happens.
Depends on the video. While the basic "nuts and bolts" of the game remain the same as they've always been, you should look out for strategies outlined in older videos based on what regs generally do in different spots.
I don't understand. IPoker looks like a site that recommends other sites. Where on the website would you go to sign up for rakebake. Where on the site do you sign up to play those websites.
Flop is a nice GTO-checkback, but I prefer just c-betting in a vacuum. Most of the hands villain will be jamming are flushdraws, which you block. It's gut-wrenching to b/f here, obv, but I think it's better in a vacuum. (See how bad ur doing vs a Q-hi FD?)
As played, I prefer checking back turn. It induces bluffs and allows villain to hit a str8/2pair to call you off
