    Default Fun spot with aces PLO5

    We're playing 2/2 pot limit DC about 600 euros deep. Villain is one of the most aggro and best regs in the game (we both play something like 60/20 with 10% 3bet). Hand in question is five card PLO, 7 handed.

    UTG places 4e live straddle. UTG+1 limps, UTG+2 limps, I make it 20 in the CO with AAxxx. BU, SB and 3 others call.

    Flop comes A22 with two spades (which I don't have any of). Checked to me, I bet 60 into 120, SB calls, everyone else folds. Turn is an offsuit four, SB leads 150, I call. River is another 4, SB leads all-in around 350 into 520ish. Now what?

    Around 10 minutes before this hand villain 3bet me oop in and I called with QTs (game was NLHE then). Flop came Q72dd, villain cbet I call. Turn 3d, villain bets, I fold and show, villain shows K9o no diamond.

    wtf is 5 card plo?

    If I am reading the board right there are only 2 hands that beat you - 22xxx and 44xxx. There is no way I am folding there against a lagtard who has plenty of A24xx combos.

    Heard of, never played PLO5. Don't see how we should be folding the nut full house even given the assumption that with 5 cards a competent LAG will have more 22/44 than in normal PLO.
    Playing big pots at small stakes.

    It is exactly what you would expect, plo with five cards. You need to use exactly two cards to form the best possible hand just like in regular plo.

    You mean A24xx as a bluff, right?
    Idk anything about this game, I'm just curious.
    The strengh of a hero is defined by the weakness of his villains.

    The worst hand villain could ever conceivably bluff river with is 24xxx, but I doubt he would try that right after showing me a bluff. I also don't think donking the turn hard against the pfr makes much sense with A42xx. What am I going to call with? A bare deuce?

    Any chance he plays his busted draw like this, hoping to fold out a hand like 2xxx/AKxx ?
    Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.
