4 max game
game is a dealer's choice must move table to the main game of 5/5 big o (5 card)
the choices are big o (5 to 10 cards) and PLO (4 to 10 cards) although 10 card big o has been the most frequently chosen game

i have played probably less than 6 hours of this game lifetime.

we have AxA23x46x7x8xTxTx

villain 1 (button) $1000 - complete drooler
villain 2 (sb) - $1000 - older rich guy. average player
hero (bb) $1500 - winning image. left main game a big winner to play this.
villain 3 (utg) $2000 - aggressive fun player

villain 1 straddles to $10, villain 2 limps, we make it $40. everyone calls.

flop: $160 - 4 players

552
check, we check, villain 3 makes it $100, villain 1 calls, villain 2 folds, we call.

so we have unbreakable low draw and block other A2 hands, nut flush draw and gut shot straight flush draw. since we all have 10 cards, i think folding is probably fine but i feel like peeling 1 isn't terrible either, especially since the 2 remaining players are fun players.

turn: $460 - 3 players

2
we check, villain 3 bets $400. villain 1 calls. we tank and call.

nothing really changed from the flop except we block possible full houses. pretty hard to have a full house here, only 2 possible combos of 5/2 and 1 combo of 5/5.

river: $1260

2
low doesn't get there and we have the 2nd nuts out of position with 2 aggressive, fun players behind. bet, c/c, or c/r all in? can't see ever folding. i think betting is probably the worst option.

opinions on all streets welcome. i doubt anyone has a ton of experience playing this game but i thought it was an interesting hand.

10 card big O? Is 23 card big O just around the corner?

haha. its just basically bingo except i think the way to crush you opponents in this game is to know when to fold the nuts before the river. its a good game to play against really bad players, as are most games.

for example, villain 1 previously stacked off in this game 3 ways for $1000 with middle set and an up and down and nothing else.

Flop and turn wp imo.

Betting river is indeed horribad, start with a check and likely call. You are blocking AA even so what hands will call if you raise?

I don't think many hands can call anything unless they bet first. So even if he half pots it, an all in from me is only going to cost him another $325 and I doubt either of these players fold for that much after betting with AA, KK and maybe a 5. Especially villain 1. Villain 2 is definitely a fun player but isn't stupid. He can be very aggressive when checked to though.

I take back the part about the five. They would have to be brain dead to call anything with a 5. Even villain 1 isn't that stupid.
