Is this how Pro's think when playing a PLO hand?
BB: Dii" marce18: $2.50
UTG: samaleks: $2.39
HJ: gnideox: $5
CO: Cauchy10: $7.03
BN: melacmil1899: $8.45
SB: tigertonkin: $11.83
UTG: samaleks: $2.39

BN: melacmil1899: $8.45
SB: tigertonkin: $11.83
Ok, I have watched Melacmil1899 raise every un-opened pot on the BN. Plus his VPIP is sky high. Must be around 75% of hands. I haven't got my HUD working but everyone else is playing super tight, so I know I can widen my range on this guy.
Preflop
($0.07)
(6 Players)
tigertonkin was dealt
K
A
8
T
samaleks folds, gnideox folds, Cauchy10 folds, melacmil1899 raises to $0.15, tigertonkin raises to $0.50, Dii" marce18 folds, melacmil1899 calls $0.35
samaleks folds, gnideox folds, Cauchy10 folds, melacmil1899 raises to $0.15, tigertonkin raises to $0.50, Dii" marce18 folds, melacmil1899 calls $0.35
So I get dealt my hand and decide that if it folds to the BN, I am going to 3 bet his raise. My hands ok and I am pretty sure its above his range. If I get 4 bet I will call as I am OOP.. Anyway I do 3 bet to the size of the pot and he calls.
Flop
($1.07)
A
J
2
(2 Players)
tigertonkin bets $0.85,
melacmil1899 calls $0.85
Obviously I hit this flop pretty nicely, and decide to C-bet just over 3/4 of the pot. The BN calls which I then try to elimate cards from his hand such as (Trips & 2 pairs, which I think he would probably re-raise with.)
Turn
($2.77)
A
J
2
8
(2 Players)
tigertonkin checks,
melacmil1899 bets $1.50,
tigertonkin calls $1.50
The turn hits my nut flush draw. This is where I used to just bet out or try to check raise for value but decide because he plays LAG and to make myself look weak that I will check/call his bet with the plan to take it on the river. I thought here that he may have hit A 8 but other than that I put him on a draw with a hand like 10 9 X X or maybe the Q flush/weak flush. The fact I had K 10 d in my hand I didnt want to bet to scare him off he did have the flush
River
($5.77)
A
J

8
J
(2 Players)
tigertonkin checks,
melacmil1899 bets $5.51,
tigertonkin raises to $8.98, and is all in,
melacmil1899 calls $0.09, and is all in
The rivercard was a massive Scarecard for me and he basically bet all-in. So I ran through the hands in my head and felt if he had A J or trips he would of raised on the flop so I called feeling confident my flush was good.
Final Pot
tigertonkin has
K

melacmil1899 has

tigertonkin
wins $16.25
I also didn't think 'what does he think I have'. (But do I need to think like this at this micro-level?) I feel like I do need to because if I don't I will fall into a trap and get owned at higher levels.
1) Is this how you should be thinking throughout a hand?
2) What else do I need to focus on or leaks to fix to improve my game?
