Liking the check-call route looking for safe turns. Can easily be dominated here, or in a flippy spot. Can lead some bricks or picked up straight/flush draws.
I like this better than the line I actually took. :p
What did you take in-game and what were your reasons for it? (Just mental exercising over here, if you prefer not to share, no worries)
My line: Hero checks, BTN bets 15bb, Hero raises to 70.5bb, BTN folds (Ac9d3cJd).
My "reasons": I thought my equity was pretty decent against BTN's range, and I was concerned about misplaying the hand on various runouts. I didn't give much consideration to leading good turns, but I like it. Being able to check/fold turns like an A, J, or spade, maybe a Q or a T as well. I liked that I was blocking top (and bottom) set, and thought I'd c/r a good number of strong draws here.
Check/call on flop just felt like I'd be in some very uncomfortable turn situations, but I see how that's better than getting it in slightly ahead/way behind. I think my c/r line was largely due to a lack of confidence in navigating the turh, but it's better to learn how to navigate turns than getting it in bad on flops.
Always happy to share my line and reasons; I'm here for the mental exercise, too. :) I just wanted to leave space for other people's thoughts before I shared my own.
Ah sure, that makes sense. The lack of comfort you mentioned feels like a very common aspect of PLO.
Our x/call range does feel kind of throttled here if we indeed x/raise a lot of ~two-pair no flush draw types. At that point, the bricks probably become pretty good for BTN in a x-bet-call sequence because we exhaust so many value hands in a flop x/raise line. The ability with our hand to x/c and lead pot on bricks is pretty fun, to put our opponent in the position to make bad turn decisions in a spot where we have more clarity after seeing a turn. (On turns, Vision leads pot with about half their range on average on low/medium spades, and about ~33% of their range on blank-ish non-spades. So the pot lead is definitely a thing if you save more value in x/call. It doesn't like heart turns for us because in solver land flush draws compose a pretty big chunk of our flop leads and x/raises.)
BTN's hand is pretty interesting. Not much hope going forward. Kind of has both good and bad card removal. Would assume it's mixing check/small bet just like AJT3/AJ94 of similar suit composition (AJ93 is not in a BTN's 3-bet range vs UTG in Vision -- and neither is that 60%-ish sizing)
