2/5 PLO Live Preflop Spot: Maybe a Basic Question
Game is playing very loose. Most pots are 4-5 ways whether it's single raise or 3bet pot.
Hero has 80bbs ($400) and all relevant villains have him covered.
Straddle is on for $10. EP opens to $35 and UTG+1, MP each call.
Hero (HJ) looks down at Tc 9d 8c 7s
Is this a spot I should be 3-betting? I think this is an auto 3-bet deeper but wasn't sure if it was right with a 80bb stack.
Pros:
- Thin the field (eg blinds + straddle probably all call if I call 75%+ time). Opens up some of my straight / pairs / flush draw
- Board visibility should be pretty good. I can comfortably just fold broadway-heavy boards, rep dry Ace-high flops, and obviously any actual favorable flops for my actual hand
- We're in good relative position to those already in the pot
Cons:
- Pretty shallow so not a ton of maneuverability post
- Non AA KKxx heavy hands probably have some of our outs covered
Any thoughts?
