1-3 plo in Houston. 300-3000 effective. This is a double board $15 bomb pot (everyone pays $15 pre and we start playing on flop)

Hero in sb with AsAdQs6d

Flops (120)
AcJc9c
8d7h4d

So we have top set on the monotone board and nfd on the straight board
First to act hero..

Well we are a 2:1 dog to win either pot. I'd check and see what develops.

Hero is $3000 deep? Check.

If hero was 500 - 600, think lead is good.

Yes sorry we cover everyone. It’s a 3K max

haha I wish I had the money to play these stakes. I've never played live or a double board but would this play similar to O8 where you want a shot to sweep the pot vs playing for only half the pot?

Also, how many players at table? I'm assuming there will be a difference between 9 players or 5

We were 8 handed, and yeah you should mainly play to scoop unless you have a board nearly locked up with a boat or flush

First to act I'd definitely check / call as a complete live beginner but wow this would be a tough spot if someone bet and then got raised before it got back to you.

The good news is the 2nd board and your hand doesn't block a potential full house on 1st board. And vice-versa the 1st board doesn't block any diamonds. I don't know what fold equity is like live where lower flushes may fold. Looking ahead at the end results, is this the right way to look at it mathematically if your odds are 33% on each board?

33% chance to win half pot
11% chance to scoop
56% to lose money

Say 2 villains go all in at 3000 each and you call you'd make as follows: 33% of 1/2 of $9000 = 1500. 11% of $9000 = $990 so you are likely to win $2490 but put in 3000? And then I guess what complicates this is your odds may be better if someone folds J high flush or lower on 1st board to heavy action

I'll defer to the live experts but really curious to see what they'd do!

I check, bb (1000) bets 30, utg (3000) calls, LJ (1500) calls, HJ (1000) calls, btn (900) calls

Hero..

I'd be tempted to pot it, in both boards we can hit indifference, if they fold is aight, and if they call we doing aight.

Sick spot.

Just calling. Even though quarter pot feels quite weak, it is still easy to run into a nutted hand. Said hands may be content to pot control, especially without much high potential on the other board.

But raising this hand oop is still precarious and sets us up for some rough turn decisions when we do not improve.

Keeping the pot small isn't a bad thing either, as it still sets hero up for many freeroll scenarios when he improves.

So I’ve actually been playing a lot of these recently in my live 2/5 home game.

U pretty much flopped the nuts here imo. I’m just gonna try and pile it in.

My default strategy is to do a lot of small bets on the flop with a wide range to clean up equity and knock out players with back door draws.

So my default here would be to just lead 1/3 pot.

Now, if the table is playing pretty aggressive and u think u can get a XR off, then I would go for a massive check raise lining up a slight overbet turn shove.

Nice thing is it’s PLO hands but it’s no limit so potting it is probably worse than an overbet XR here.

People just have so much equity

EDIT: nvm this actually IS pot limit. My game is no limit.

Allin and run it twice

WW is .33*.33 = .1089
WL is .33*.67 = .2211
LW is .67*.33 = .2211
LL is .67*.67 = .4489

This is how I felt but being oop and deep I just called the 30 and immediately regretted it
