Hi everyone. At first, say that I'm from Spain and my English isn't very good, so sorry for the mistakes. Do you play this hand in this way? Whay do you do vs his raise?

Thanks for the comments.

lol sorry i didnt see hand..i thought rereraise action was preflop :S if you get to a as little pot with that hand , you just fold..can try c bet as you did but since you do have nuts flush draw check call is best possible solution there, calling off the checkraised flop is EV minus

For your first question you can maybe start with checking out this post:

As for the hand, I would probably cbet a bit smaller because it's a straight board and you do hold the nut flush draw yourself and have very good equity against villain's calling range. Once you get raised on this type of board in PLO10 it is done by JTxx majority of the time, unless it is some real crazy monkey. Most villains will only call 2pairs, sets and even non-nut straights, so your choice is really between call or fold. You are somewhat deep, so there is some merit to calling the flop, but you will have to fold to a pot sized bet on turn unimproved tho, and given the raise on the flop turn bet is very likely coming on blank turns. By the same token, you should probably bet yourself, if the flush completes. It's kinda obvious what you have, but that's the best chance to get paid.

Very nice post Girts, thank you!

I'm playing in PokerStars.es (only for Spain) and here the level of PLO is very bad, especially in microstakes. However, reviewing the hand I think the same as you (two pairs or similar only pay). If I pay I have to pay 3€ in a 6€ pot aproximatelly, and I have only 9 outs (11 if I count the Aces in case he has set), a 20% aproximatelly. So If I bet flop, the best will be bet/fold no? This is supposing that if the turn is a club he will fold...

Folding on this flop means we are missing out on a lot of equity. I think the math is right to do so. Might be an argument for checking this flop though. Maybe bet it in position or if we don't have nut flush draw. Just a side note. I hate his line here on the flop but the way you played it gave him max value and his dry nut straight should be either hoping to chop or be slightly ahead when he gets in all in.

I think I would start by check-calling this flop. You basically never have the best hand on the flop in a 3way pot, and even if your flop bet is called, playing bricks is awkward, especially out of position.


Check-calling keeps the pot small, and you can just fold (unfortunately) on brick turns. You had around 39% you say, but that's likely because you're facing a hand with 0 clubs and 0 redraws. Your equity can easily be worse.

Thanks everyone for the posts.

I have 39% versus JTxx. In this case, I have 43.3% (with 0 clubs or redraws). What you mean with "bricks"? I don't understand that term.
