PLO  - Flopping trips on a dry board PLO  - Flopping trips on a dry board

Cross-posted from Micro-stakes NL/PL

Game is $0.30/$0.60 PLO 6 handed Online.

I don't have any stats on villain. We're 250 BBs effective.

Villain opens to 3.5 BBs UTG.

I flat A765 UTG+1. Probably a bit loose here I would assume?

MP flats.

Pot: 12BBs
Flop: K77

UTG bets 12 BBs. I call? MP folds.

Pot: 36BBs
Turn: 4

UTG bets 36BBs, I call?

Pot: 108BBs.
River: 7

UTG checks, I?

I'm not really sure how to navigate the flop and turn here when it just feels like he has KKxx a lot there but I don't think I can fold or raise/fold somewhere?

What size would you go on the river?

1/3rd pot. it is pretty obvious u have a seven, so go for the crying call from KK.

Depends on players to act behind you and table dynamic. If opens are getting 3bet a lot or there are aggressive players to act behind, then it is loose. If the table is passive and there's a lot of limped or single raised multiway pots, it's fine.

Calling is fine. His betting range is much much wider than his bet/call or bet/GII range. By raising, you fold out a wide part of his range that you beat, but you don't get repopped by hands that crush you. So all a raise accomplishes is to build a big pot vs. a continuing range that has good equity against your hand.

Call for same reasons as before. Intend to fold river if you don't boat up+. Most villains at these stakes are incapable of 3 barrel bluffing someone off trips here.

You bet for value on this river. This is a good spot to take advantage of peoples inability to adjust their relative hand strength on certain board runouts. If he has a flopped monster or 777AA etc he's not going to fold. If he somehow 2 barreled you with Kx or some other crap he's folding to any bet

Thanks for the multi-street analysis!

My original thinking on the river was that he would be inelastic in his calling decision so I bet full pot, but also, I'm almost never bluffing here (AK65 or similar seems like the only candidate), so that lends me to want to bet smaller?

I hear what you're saying I think a competent player c/f just about everything here but this is PL60 so I'm value betting big on the river just because flopped boats or rivered nut underfulls have a hard time folding

Ironically I think a small bet is better to bluff with since it appears more value-y and vice versa

This is 9f course player dependent there's some dudes I would just full pot here because their fear of being bluffed turns them into calling stations
