 I would like it better without the Q on the end, you're basically calling hoping to chop and every once in a while catch him with 78 or something. The thing is, if he has nothing you would think he would bet flop or turn instead since he gets called by Ax pretty much all the time on river given action.

I would rather lead 120 on the turn than call it on river.

 God they are so easy. Right now Im grinding $10 PLO H/l.

2 days ago 1st hand I win the match all in on a TJQr flop holding AK against villians Q887.

Today I win a large pot on a QQQAK board with villian holding AKxy and me holding JJxy. All the action came on the river.
