PLO10 Zoom - Getting raised OTR w 2nd nuts + blockers

BN: $13.49
SB: $4.40
BB: $9.01
UTG: $21.13 (Hero)
HJ: $18.82
CO: $5.74
Preflop ($0.15) (6 Players)
Hero was dealt 9 A 9 A
Hero raises to $0.35, HJ folds, CO folds, BN calls $0.35, SB folds, BB folds
Flop ($0.85) A 3 T (2 Players)
Hero bets $0.55, BN calls $0.55
Turn ($1.95) A 3 T 8 (2 Players)
Hero bets $1.45, BN calls $1.45
River ($4.85) A 3 T 8 6 (2 Players)
Hero bets $2.20, BN raises to $11.14, and is all in, Hero folds

This is a Zoom hand, no reads.

On the River I'm betting for value because I have blockers. When raised I assumed villain had exactly 97.
Is anyone calling just because it's combinatorically less likely that villain rivered the straight?

Thanks for your comments.

Hi vs unknown this is obviously fold.Players don't bluff in this spots. I'm never calling this but i don't like your river sizing.Value bet is good but you  need to bet much more than half pot.The reason is that  he could have easy 2pair or set played passivly and he'll never fold this.I'll bet about 3,7$.peace.

Thanks. The reason I bet small is because I don't see much that he can call me with.

You say he can have 2pair; since I block the Aces also, he might have weak 2pair (T8, T3) that won't call a big bet. As for sets, people at this stakes will typically jam them on the Flop or Turn. But I agree that TT and 33 might call a bigger bet.

So his range looked to me mostly as some missed draws that will fold and some weak hands that might call a 1/2 pot bet.

I'm probably betting bigger all the way and then spite-calling it off 'cas of: price, blockers, belief villain might jam lighter for value/not quite understand PLO, and, most importantly, tilt that my monster is no longer the nuts.

Interesting. I forced myself to fold because people are constantly showing down the hands they're representing in these kind of spots at PL10. I might have called in a regular table for reads/metagame purposes. Thanks.

I think in the spot you got yourself into the fold was probably good. Given my line our price might have been too good to fold (also, the tilt reason mentioned).

I feel like river is better as a check than a bet.  You just block so much of his range that can call you that checking is probably better.  Like, I'd go bet/bet/bet with AT or TT here for sure, but when you hold AA99 he just never has anything.


As for your river fold.  If you fold this your folding nearly everything. 

Tom Coldwell 11 years, 4 months ago
You also block his bluffs though and it's the micros so people are more likely to call too much than value-bet light so I feel we probably perform better going for value on the river.

Regarding your comment about folding this meaning we fold EVERYTHING, I totally agree. However, I can certainly see this being a super exploitative fold against some villains who simply raise the nuts here and nothing else.
