25PLO - i cracked aces...but can I call?

[fjuanl]

We've played 1 hand before. I opened KKJx UTG and he called my ~pot cbet and insta checked down AQxx on a KJxJx 2tone flop. His sizing is confusing me

I'm not giving any advice cuz I suck at this game... just want to point out that you don't crack AA22, AA33, AA88, AATT, AAJJ, AA79, AA9Q.
Now have fun with combinatorics imo

fold set flush draw

river timing? The faster it was the more likely I am to call. Some people just cannot stomach making a decision were they to check so they jam, we're getting like 2.75:1, so it's pretty darn close all around.

Turn could be a jam but I think I'd take your line

[fjuanl]

he took about 3-4 seconds on every street. not quite insta but still pretty quick

[drmcboy]

I don't get read, you checked down a FH?

I think the flop is a fold,I guess this is OK as a float but on the flop you should have expected him to jam a lot of turns. As played I would shove the turn. Maybe he'll fold and you don't have to figure out when to call/v bet the end.

[fjuanl]

this is the other hand. was hoping for him to barrel his draws. maybe bet turn c/r river is better?

I would just keep betting, decent amount of his hands have Jx in them and you're going to bet here with your FD/BW wraps. Many draws here will have a lot of equity vs a bare J and getting CR is a disaster. So usually he'll check back. I would assume that direction until you have a read. I would guess < 10% of players at 1/2 would bet either street with a draw, let alone both. Plus don't forget even if he is mostly drawing he could have a pp or the other K and have SD value.

Re: the full house line

at 25PLO, I'm running about 0% when I check to induce a bet. Save this play for people that are obvious HE players, if used at all.

[bigspenda73]

your turn check is fine when your hand contains a jack, you could also bet $2.25 again, but in all actuality w/o a read he's calls w/ draws on paired boards it's better to check here. I disagree with Doc that we'd expect people to check back Jxxx on the turn here, that's pretty darn passive/nitty w/o a reason to be so.

Finally, checking the river is fine once the turn goes check/check if we think he's checking back all of his draws but betting made hands on the turn.

[drmcboy]

I said he checks draws, not Jxxx. I guess I assume our generic 25 plo read is station, not aggro.
