I'm calling the turn in the hope that a spade doesn't come and figure it's quite possible that my opponents are betting flush draws without the made straight.

I suppose it's possible they're calling with sets hoping the board to pair on the river but I put a bet in anyway, thinking the made straight might fold when that T comes.



What do you think about this play generally?

Both players are reasonably tight.

It is a decent spot to bluff as you may be splitting the pot after he was freerolling you but if I were to "bluff" a small stack like this I might have bet the pot to really make him choose between the rest of his stack or folding and waiting for a better spot.


Decision making - When decisions are not based on information, it's called gambling

 I don't care for turn but I don't play much PLO8, in PLO high you're pretty much always getting free rolled. I doubt anyone is betting a naked FD, more likely a combo draw which means the T is not so good. It's also easy to see how they could have a non nut house and so would rather check call with it.

"it's quite possible that my opponents are betting flush draws without the made straight. "

given this read, river bet doesnt make sense

Keep in mind I don't claimed to be good at bluffing in O8, but I don't like this play.

I would be surprised if the is no full house out there, and wouldn't a fold. Like drmcboy mentioned, I'd think a check call from a non-nut full house is pretty likely.

its risky but you can try. If you dont you lose. You got to see how people play. Who when he calls have a real good hand and who is hoping. But i think a bluff isnt bad in this spot. Maybe the opponent thinks you got aces.

i don't think a bluff is +ev here, but it's not horrendous

if you do get called and lose/split at least you improve your image
