PLO HU 50, a few common spots
Hi guys,
For some reason I couldn't post my HH, so I will just copy and paste the text version of it.
1) PLO HU (0.25/0.5 euro)
Hero (SB): €99.25
BB: €50.00 (VPIP: 70.83, PFR: 37.50, 3Bet Preflop: 16.67, Hands: 24)
Hero posts SB €0.25, BB posts BB €0.50
Pre Flop: (pot: €0.75) Hero has Jc Jh As 6c
Hero raises to €1.25, BB raises to €3.75, Hero calls €2.50
Flop : (€7.50, 2 players) 5h 5s 2s
BB bets €7.50, Hero ??
This is the spot I kind of struggle with. I have a weak overpair and pretty much nothing else but the NF blocker, which I don't think is very powerful at this stack depth. We are still early in the match and this is his second 3bet, I folded preflop to his first one.
What is our plan -- is folding here too nitty? He probably doesn't have a whole lot of worse overpairs than mine, and we don't improve on most turns.
2) Against the same villain, a couple hands later:
Hero (SB): €62.17
BB: €57.23 (VPIP: 72.22, PFR: 38.89, 3Bet Preflop: 22.22, Hands: 18)
Hero posts SB €0.25, BB posts BB €0.50
Pre Flop: (pot: €0.75) Hero has 9c Kd 3s 5c
Hero raises to €1.25, BB calls €0.75
Flop : (€2.50, 2 players) 3h 4s 5d
BB checks, Hero bets €1.75, BB calls €1.75
Turn : (€6.00, 2 players) Jc
BB checks, Hero bets €4.00, BB calls €4.00
River : (€14.00, 2 players) Js
BB checks, Hero bets €9.00
Standard barrel, or too spewy? Flop is kinda standard I guess, and on turn I figured betting is just better than checking back and possibly having to face a tough decision (it's hard for him not to have 25-35% equity vs my hand). On the river oh well, I thought if he had a straight he woulda raised somewhere, especially on the turn, and now I can be value betting my boats here. I also have blockers for his flopped sets (which he woulda raised somewhere anyway too). At the same time, I would kick myself if I check this down and lose to his 8865 type of hands.
Thoughts on all streets appreciated!
3) Again, vs. the same guy:
Hero (SB): €50.00
BB: €75.83 (VPIP: 72.73, PFR: 40.91, 3Bet Preflop: 18.18, Hands: 22)
Hero posts SB €0.25, BB posts BB €0.50
Pre Flop: (pot: €0.75) Hero has Ah Js Kd 7h
Hero raises to €1.25, BB calls €0.75
Flop : (€2.50, 2 players) 8h Kh Tc
BB checks, Hero bets €2.00, BB raises to €8.50, Hero ??
I flopped very well and am not looking for folding (obv). My question is, is this super standard 3b/gii, or is there some merits for flatting? Since he didn't 3b pre we can rule out some KK combos (and we have a blocker too), but TTxx and 88xx will be playing this way, as well as wraps and KTxx/K8. At the same time we are towards the top of range too, so just shove now? Or flatting is fine too?
