    Default PLO$200: Bluff the river?

    Preflop seems iffy here. I think implied odds demand a call on the turn. I can't imagine calling the river, but at the same time, I'm having trouble putting him on a hand. 86xx and 63xx are the only hands I'm really in trouble against on the turn, and 63xx can't feel good about that river. Obviously, if I'm thinking about calling, it should have been a shove. Any merit in such a play, to get folds from non 86xx hands?

    I really dislike c/c'ing turn unless you plan on jamming board pairs and clubs as well as hearts. If that's the case it's not implied odds that make the turn a call, but more like implied threat.

    yeah I would just fold turn, unless like spenda said you just want to try and blow him off the straight. But I can see him calling pairs or clubs a lot and almost never hearts.

    Nut flush draws don't have a lot of implied value in this game since people usually play cautiously with non-nut flushes, so I agree with spenda that you should be folding the turn unless you plan on bluffing if the board pairs. And no, I wouldn't bluff this river.
