Hi guys,

do you think that UTG can do this with AAxx + NFD? I don't know what he can wrap on the turn but i see this play very rarely on PLO5 which led me to fold. Looking back i think this might be a mistake, what do you think?

Thanks,

Tob.

unlikely UTG would decline to four bet pre with aces. I don't like the flop sizing. we have a strong but somewhat vulnerable hand and must protect it. I do like your turn line, especially the fold to villain's raise.

While I agree re: the turn, I don't think we're as vulnerable on the flop as plolearnerguy suggests. An UTG raise/call range shouldn't have a ton of straight draws here, and there's really nothing else going on. We block a ton of what villain might reasonably continue with most of the time, so I honestly don't even hate a checkback.

Though maybe I've been playing too much NLHE lately ;p
