PokerStars Zoom, Omaha Pot Limit - $0.02/$0.05 - 6 players
Replay this hand on Upswing Poker

UTG (Hero): $9.89 (198 bb)
MP: $4.94 (99 bb)
CO: $5.25 (105 bb)
BU: $5.00 (100 bb)
SB: $12.73 (255 bb)
BB: $7.59 (152 bb)

Pre-Flop: ($0.07) Hero is UTG with T♠ K♦ Q♠ T♣
Hero raises to $0.17, MP calls $0.17, CO calls $0.17, 3 players fold

Flop: ($0.58) J♦ 9♠ 8♣ (3 players)
Hero bets $0.38, MP calls $0.38, CO folds

Turn: ($1.34) Q♣ (2 players)
Hero bets $1.11, MP calls $1.11

River: ($3.56) J♠ (2 players)
Hero ?

Villain probably fish. What do you think about 1/3 pot bet?

Maybe check fold if the flush also came in but this looks like a check/decide-sometimes call . Recs will get to this spot with a wider range than boats

I think x/c is a really weird recommendation that I don't agree with.

I think b/f (small sizing, as you've suggested) is by far the best option given what I perceive to be population tendencies.

Most PLO players don't bluff the river enough (or make thin/merged/v-cut/etc bets enough) for bet/call or check/call to make sense.

We block straights hard with TT. We completely unblock FHs. Villain doesn't have natural bluffs, like, at all.

Bet small and fold to a raise. Easy. If a PLO5 rando found a bluff with Q9Acc or something, good for them.

Alright, I like bet/fold. Is there any difference between betting 1/3 and 1/4?

wtf is our range for 1/3 pot river, like just Tx hands that don't have a J?

Most station villains at these stakes will have all of J9/J8/QJ in their range here, and it won't take a genius villain to see "strong bet flop; strong bet turn; weak bet river" and decide he should just pot whatever he got to the river with.

Maybe it's a good exploit though, who knows.

Turn seems like if this isn't a x/r nothing is.
