Hi all,

V is action, rich investor type. Doesn’t have to have it to pot it. ( Could easily have 55 here or another random Jx.)

MP pro iso $100 over V limp, one caller, hero on the $25 BTN straddle completes four ways with JT984ds. (Fold pre seems a little snug.) $900 eff.

Flop ($410): JJ5r. V pots from SB, folds to hero? Easy rip or flat? Fold?

The main reason to call, would be to fold on a few turns if we put vilain on jx better kicker, but we are mostly commited.

Pre is a fold, putting in 1/9 of our stack not closing the action with a non-premium rundown doesn't seem correct. We really need final card to be connected to consider getting involved.

In 5 card, we need to be much more selective with rundowns anyway due to domination issue and can't gamble it up the same way we might in an action 4 card game.

When we do gamble we also prefer having a suited ace to fall back on.

Thanks mate. Is calling this pre a “big” mistake in the grand scheme of things? Like how bad was this call pre? Just trying to evaluate my play. Like if this is a glaring error versus a small one. ( FWIW I never expect SB limper to l/rr.)

Please clarify its a mississipi straddle in OP.

I would consider this a medium to large mistake. Whenever we flat a large percentage of our stack that doesn't perform well vs squeeze or play particularly well postflop, we are looking at a scenarion where its easy to lose big.

All omaha games require disciplined ranges pre-flop. If you are playing in action games against weaker players its easy to start playing too many hands, or even if you are not, omaha can be a game of patience.


For reference: jt984ds is a coinflip vs random hand, even though it is a 30 percentile hand by ranking.

I can't comment for 5card ranges, but if this was pure JT98ss in PLO with these stack sizes it's not even a call on the button. Just saying. You need A LOT of maneuverability with these hands and with those stack depths you jsut don't have it

You're oop with a non nut hand in what will be a 4 way pot in a spot where you're trying to make the nuts. It's pretty bad.

Wait, everyone knows I am the btn straddle (this game plays mandatory$25 btn straddle), effectively closing the action, right? That was the only reason I called. I would not call if it wasn't for being a little priced in otb. I'd fold in the blinds and with nothing already committed.

Probably still bad either way judging from everyone's comments. Thanks!

with the pot odds and having both absolute and relative position i think it should be fine to defend pre. equities run pretty close in 5 card plo.

The equities do run "close" but the last image shows what we should be doing pre.

Buy more chips or fold pre with that stack size.
