Flop raise is too optimistic.

Hi,
I wonder where to play PLO micro stakes, is there alternative for Poker Stars?
Im looking for site with decent traffic and decent rb

guess GGpoker is your option.

I am thinking about moving to PLO after a somewhat long poker break (4 years).

However, it feels very weird to play at PLO2 with several thousand BIs in my BR (I used to play NL100).

Any advice about what stake I should start from? I don't mind losing some to learn some.

I'll answer my own question: PLO25.

Hi,

I think my call is pretty good. Flop game though, i didnt have a clue that im doing.
i think mp range is really not hitting the board very strongly. Might have over pair most of the time? Im scared of flush ofc but i think its rare at headsup situations.

What do you think, would call it and continue to turn? I think if mp would have check the turn id attacked 75% pot?

I would recommend PLO 10 for the transition. Sometimes you can go down 20BI by doing everything right. From experience stars 25 vs 10 pool is also a big skill difference.

any online links for 5card plo strategy?
or hwang's 4 card plo book still applies?

6-max PLO10. Hero has $5.00 and Villain has Hero covered.

Hero opens HJ with A9A7. Villain defends BB.

Flop ($0.75): 753

Hero bets $75. BB check/raises to $3.00. Total pot size becomes $4.50. $2.25 for Hero to call.

Should Hero call or fold here?

cbetting for pot here is not a great move i think. your opening range from an early position shouldnt have too many low cards and the board being quite connected, low and rainbow doesnt favor such a range. bb on the other hand is quite wide. no range here should have a big equity advantage i believe. not sure why you chose to bet for pot then. you do have a pair and some rundown blockers and a bdnfd but i think betting half pot and calling vs a raise is the way to go. you also could check behind.

edit: just saw you were short stacking. then maybe you need to adjust and bet 1/3 instead. not sure about shortstacking postflop strat though

Thanks! I see the sizing problem now.

It is a little bit confusing when you say "bb on the other hand is quite wide. no range here should have a big equity advantage i believe"? (BTW, I open about 18% at HJ.)

I was trying to say that on this particular board hands you would open from HJ wont be a huge favorite over hands you would defend from bb and vice versa. BB will defend a wide range of hands so he will often connect with such a low board too while HJ will have lots of high cards and overpairs which BB would have decent equity against. On a board like K72r HJ will usually have an equity advantage for example

6-Max. UTG limps. Hero at HJ with QQ87 rainbow. Overlimp or fold?

I would check the flop. Villain has a massive range advantage here.

In general you don't want to pile money in with a wrap when the board has a flush draw.

6-Max PLO10.

UTG has $9.20 and Hero $10.95.

UTG raises to $0.35 and it is folded to Hero at Button with KJK6. Is calling better here than 3-betting?

Would you 3-bet instead if having KJKQ?

Not three betting either combo, although it depends on how wide utg is opening. I'd actually rather three bet the former, because with the second you block more of his non aces combos.

I fold but I'm no expert fwiw.

Hi,
do i need jack trips to make all-in reraise or is T-trips enough?

I‘d advice to fold pre. on flop it’s not a great spot to stack off with middle set and no real redraw. versus JJ we are looking grim and vs conbo draws we are not even ahead, as you learned the hard way. in some cases even with JJ it’s not a great spot to go all in with with no backup

didnt even think about my loosy preflop play until u said it. Its 1vs1, i thougt shipping would be okay but maybe calling would be better play and then fold on turn if villain continues betting. what is grim on the context? ( not native english)

grim means dark/bad, I think...not a native either

3 handed vs aggressive player on PPPoker:

I don't know how to convert from the app so I'm transcribing manually. Button is very aggro and likes to apply pressure, but not a complete maniac post flop. Short/medium stacks are common in this game

PPPoker $1/$2, 3 handed

SB (Hero): $252
BB: $60
Button: $134

Preflop: ($3.00) Hero is SB with A J K T
Button raises to $6.00, Hero calls, BB calls.

I was thinking I could 3 bet this preflop but these guys are very loose/wild and I wanted to see a flop before committing plus getting 4 bet would suck and could easily happen.

Flop:($18.00) T 7 9 (3 players)
Hero checks, BB checks, Button bets $18.00, Hero calls, BB folds.

Decent flop but unlikely to take it down with a donk lead and could easily be in bad shape against the nuts and/or Axs.

Turn: ($54) T
Hero checks, Button bets $27, Hero...

Easy all-in? Is there any merit to another line? Should I have raised at any point prior to this?

Are there any stables based around 100-200PLO? Seems like most are focused on MTTS.

First couple hands at a Bovada table, so no read. Is the river reraise necessary on my part, or is it just a call when he pops the river? Anyone play this different?

I had a hard time putting him on a hand that makes sense for the river raise, J8xx or a weird JJxx, or 88xx obviously. I considered K8xx and 55xx least likely. I think at these stakes there's value to be gained by a riverraise from these hands,

I've played very little Omaha so my sense of relative hand strength may be way off. Thoughts?
