I play it the same. We have a lot of equity vs all of his range.

agree, wp. very likely you have the best hand. If he happens to have a weak two pair, he would likely fold. If he somehow c/c flop with QJ, QQ or JJ, you have good equity, but I find that people very rarely c/c with those hands when they can get most of their stack in with a check raise. His check on the turn makes those hands even less likely because people who check call with those hands will often lead out on a blank turn to lower their variance against wraps.

Enough where zockerbert can pose a threat as a reshove which puts pressure on UTG. If the game has been nitty, I would fold to UTG's rejam.

If people are playing snug at this point and are mindful of the 20bb stacks, I think flatting in position is better. I always think R/A especially for PLO play more wild, but people may be playing this more like a normal 9-handed ring game at this time.

Can't play any other way although I am not really thrilled about getting it in on the turn.

So many chips in the pot already though even some small chance of winning the pot outright is a big win. Otherwise... run good and get a really good stack.

as it happened villian went into the depths of his timebank and shoved the turn with very naked AA.

NDreams - The R/A period has finished and typically people play extraodinarily tight from ep in these games to the point where 3betting is the last thing that enters my mind. I would hate having to 3b call or 3b fold my hand here esp whene I have the benefit of position postflop.
