    Default 5/5 PLO hand live game 250bb deep river decision

    5/5 game PLO, no pros on teh table. A weekend game arranged by a bunch if bankers and such. I started hand with 1700-1800 and was in the bb. I have qd 9d js 3h. preflop gets limped through and we are 5 ways to the flop. flop jd 9s 3d. I lead out for pot, 30. Get called in two spots and the sb check raises to 100 more, he has me covered. I elect to call and one player folds and the other one calls. Turn 10d. I have three pairs open ended straight draw and q high flush draw. BB checks I check player in position bets pot for 450. BB folds and I think for a bit and call. River Ks. I check and he bets 1200 which is close to pot putting me all in.

    Are there enough AQxx in his hand to fold or is this always a call?

    Turn is a clear fold, would never call river unless you know he value bets lower flushes like this AND makes blocker plays with a naked Ad.

    Thanks for the insight guys. I agree the turn call being a fold instead of a call. I have played wit this particualr opp for 5 years plus now and he probably has about 20-30% bluffing range here, in Holdem at least. If that were to be a concrete number, for discusiions sake, is check pot profitable or is check fold a better option. I could lead for 3/4 I guess and fold to a raise too. Im pretty new to higher stakes omaha and been studying the game and would love to here some experienced opinions that I could use in similar spots in future.

    With that many draws the turn is a fold? I don't think I agree but don't play much plo.

    The river is a genuinely tough spot, it's possibly a fold but it's really close.

    Since we're blocking 2 pair and most sets it really looks like a made straight on the turn. So we're probably behind, and possible we'd be drawing to a lower flush.

    I would think someone would raise a broadway hand from late position, but maybe not after a couple limpers. The c/c, b line is weird though.

    I keep reading OP again and again and I don't get what some of you are saying. The flop has 2 diamonds and the turn is a diamond. We made the third nuts on the turn. Why is everyone talking about him having a straight? We want him to have AQ all day.

    I would fold here because it seems like you are beat unless you have a very good read on your opponet that he is bluffing.
