    Default 25PLO - AAs in SB 200bb deep

    50bb table, I was iffy on 3betting pre given the deep stacks and villains will donate post

    I'm thinking raise here folding out CO most of the time and gambooling with BTN

    CO is 74/43, BTN is 28/10, FWIW

    CO: $59.32
    BTN: $12.50
    SB: $8.28
    Hero (BB): $45.78

    Pre Flop: ($0.35) Hero is BB with 6 A Q A
    1 fold, CO raises to $0.75, BTN calls $0.75, 1 fold, Hero calls $0.50

    Flop: ($2.35) 6 4 2 (3 players)
    Hero checks, CO bets $1.57, BTN raises to $6.95, Hero ...

    I'd for sure bomb as played, debating leading flop. Given CO's stats is it safe to say you're never folding? I can't decide what the best way to get him to fold a hand like 8765 with spades would be - we only have 60% there (ignoring BU). If BU had folded what was the plan?

    I figured CO would cbet something, most bad players will bet small like this when they brick and be done with the hand. I would guestimate BTN would typically call here with any sort of pair, FD, straight draw. So my plan was to C/R because this looks like a near nut board to me.

    I don't usually expect to get too much action here, and when I do I'm never dead. I think I was wondering if that thought was wrong and/or bad. Seems like c/r stack is less icky than if I lead and get raised, although I would very rarely expect to get raised if I lead, idonno.

    I guess the other thing is it's hard for me to not be results oriented in micro stakes PLO. If CO shoveled KK with the 2nd NFD I would lol and count my monies. When they fold here it seems pretty standard and I don't really question the play too much.

    folding is OK but potting is a little better, i m too tired to type out why

    Cool spot

    no fucking clue what I'd do in the heat of the moment

    not much of one now either, but it doesn't involve folding.

    yeah fold was not a choice for me either. when you get a nap tell us why it's ok.

    it's likely BU would jam any FD+pair unless he's incompetent which doesn't make sense given 28/10.

    I suck at leading OOP when I didn't raise, I doubt I would do it here. c/r 35xx seems standard so I'd rather lead that than our hand. I guess we fold lots of hands that are drawing more or less dead with a c/r but I think it's still the best play.

    I can't imagine flatting or folding. If we flat, we invite CO to come along with whatever and we'll be lost on most turns.

    and yeah it'll be fun on the occasions when he decides to 4-bet jam

    This was the idea I had floating around in my head last night. I guess this is a spot where if we had any reads on villain post-flop our play would become more standard. There are some micro 75/43 that would auto jam or fold if I overcalled here, but hadn't seen him be bat-shit agro.

    Lets say we led, I'm pretty sure this is what would have gone down

    folding is ok because at these stakes, this deep, in my limited experience 1 or both of the villains hold the nuts already. CO here obviously has any 4 cards but his rags have lots of straights and sets + FD's. thinking on the level of "what is a good range for getting it in here" is fine for us but we should take into account the fact that many if not most villains simply aren t stacking off without the nuts here. the fact that we hold the NFD and 6x makes it much much more likely that 1 of the 2 villains holds the nuts.

    that being said, if we could be guaranteed that CO was shipping in his stack we d be getting a correct price to stack off against the nuts. some % of the time, we ll also get in that great spot you ve all mentioned where CO holds air and the BTN has to go with KK78ss or something.

    when sauce or nutsinho post about nl200 hands, their advice is always theoretically awesome but in practice it will cause you to burn money. ppl don t have good ranges, in this spot they re raising the nuts only an incredibly high % of the time. this is a giant key to beating low stakes PLO. make lots and lots and lots of exploitable folds and profit.

    all that being said, my games might make me think backwards about hands like this since many ppl are PLO only players who don t have all of that american NL overplay syndrome going on...

    CO doesn't need to have anything and BU is 50BBs deep.

    lost a post with lots of equities. 28% is the pretty much worst case vs 35** and a set, we're a favorite vs two 35**. So it seems like a small mistake at worst to get it in vs the disaster of folding to something like air and 9875 or worse over pair with spades.

    Genitruc:
    What you say is true but the fact that this is a shortstacker table must be taken into account. These are people who are just looking to catch a piece of the flop and get it in; you make your money at this level off dominating draws.

    sounds good; thx for checking equities drmc

    i stated right at the start of the thread that potting is better than folding. i tried making the weak case for folding because in a spot where ppl get deep (i think this is magnified since this feels like 4 effective buyins for someone playing 50bbs) we re in the worst case scenario more often than we should be vs competent aggro opponents.

    good hand swig.

    why are we giving the CO credit for a hand he's willing to stack off 180bb deep with just b/c he 2/3 pot cbet here
  15. #15
    I'd lead, I'd expect CO to raise like never, and the biggest question would be what to do when shorty jams if CO flats our lead

    I would not, which is why potting the flop seems non-ideal, but nothing else really made sense either. Maybe flatting hoping for an overcall, and leading the turn?

    Had I checked I'd call here and expect the CO to jam like never

    he'll fold a high % of the time, come along a smaller % and play v. straightforward with a dry side pot

    The shorty is just going to have so many hands we're well ahead of and the CO can have hands that are RIO against us that he might overcall the flop with

    Without reads, Villian is reraising here with nut straight, any set and worse fd's sometimes. Your are likely behind but not by much. I jam here to max fold equity. Also, I repop pre to isolate instead of going 3 way postflop.

    good bump, fun hand, I think the most important point is this:

    I wouldn't expect CO to raise a lead or call check-jam very often and even when he does, he'll be dominated a good percentage of the time.

    I might flat and let the co decide my future action, as he has more monies that I want to get my hands on, I think if you bomb that flop u might scare the big stack off a 2nd nut flush plus a set type hand or something close
