After NL sessions I tend to play like 1-3 orbits of PLO, which is stupid because I barely know how to play it.
I've watched about ten PLO videos, but never read anything about equities or done any kind of studying on the game. Played for the first time like a month or two ago.
But PLO is so much fun! You always have so much. Flush draw here, wrap there, set there, oh nuts again.
Game selection ftw.

Villian limps, so I obviously max it

987poker987 bets $6,
Hero raises to $18,
987poker987 calls $12
Even though he doesn't have many Axxx in his range, I don't feel good about calling multiple streets.
Since I have so many more Axxx combos than Villian, I think I should raise here a lot, and perhaps bluff with it later.
I simply don't know how good Kings are on a board like this.

987poker987 bets $2,
Hero raises to $51.84,
987poker987 calls $49.84
Since he never ever has AAxx and probably never 55/77, I decide to pot it, and jam the river.
Don't want to lose my costumer, which is very likely, due to line he's taken.
On the other hand, I need to have bluffs in my range. I can have some wraps, FDs etc. in my range for sure, and Villian likely has some equity, so I don't want him to realise it cheaply.

Hero raises to $124.16, and is all in
Obvious river jam, right?
Don't think he has many 68/63 combos, and a lot of those are wraps that can c/r the flop.
From my NL experience, fish tend to donk big when they chased a draw and hit it.

Well, I don't know either. Just regurgitating some things I've seen.
