I'm always in two minds what line to take against an unknown in these situations - I feel often i find myself in tricky spots when the board comes like the below or else comes something like T87 with a flush draw and me with none of that suit. . Good players obviously will undertstand my 3 bet range and polay accordingly but I find it difficult to put a range on 3 bet calling from the button.

Is this the correct line to take - should we lead flop? As played Is the river ever a call?

PLO 200 6 max

Stacks both $200

Hero SB: A A 2 4
Button opens to $7
Hero makes it $23

Hero checks
Button makes it $48

I don't think river is a call ever, no

I think you can pot/gii on the flop. Do some stuff in PPT and I think you'll come to the same conclusion.

I really don`t want to check this flop with AA, although you have 2 bdfd.

Opponent who have various trash hands like akt8,5689,kk etc will try to bluff

often every turn or river.I know you can be against 2pair hand or set,but will
probably prefer bet small/fold than check/calling.With 2bdfd check shove is fine imo.

He checked turn which exludes any made hand better that 1 pair,but river is really bad,

you are basically beating only kings.I `ll fold river here.

Agree, pot/gii is profitable. What is your plan on these turns if he flats the flop?

IMO if you're going to create a low SPR on the flop you should gii and expect to rebuy. Otherwise just call the button raise and play a smaller pot and c/f on turns/rivers where you don't improve.

Why should he expect to rebuy?

Anyway, spr on flop is not too low and that's the problem. It's easy to pot with spr 1, but this is very tricky situation.

With so many backdoor draws I would bet/GII this hand on the flop, after checks and he bets I would raise all in, he could be easily doing this with hands we beat. And after check call on the flop I would for sure lead that turn.

Because it's PLO so he should expect to lose about 40 percent of the time when he gii on that flop? *shrug*.

On the flop there's approx $96 in the pot once hero checks and button bets. Hero has about $177 behind so spr is shy of 2:1 no?

CJ - excuse my ignorance with PPT. Why do we put a 30% range in there. Is that top 30% of hands villian could have on that board or preflop?

30% is preflop range here.

Anyway CJ72 when you said he should expect to rebuy,i understood you mean

he would be losing almost always.But losing 40% make sense and is perfectly fine with

this much dead money.You miscalculated spr.There`s 48 in the middle,177 left.

So spr close to 4,no point in calculating when one player bets.

Just to add it`s very hard to expect hero to have 60% when the money goes in here.

But he need 45% to make it profitable,so i guess he has that on average.

Ya, I was thinking from a c/r line.
