Dhruv Bhargava continues looking at hands from a recent action packed session across both 4- and 5-card PLO occasionally turning to Vision to check his approach.

Great review!

7:55 table 1 akk8 without the king of suit do you check and give up?

8:40 table 4 q966 is the top pair and oesd not enough to call vs a bettor and 1 caller?

Thanks!

Thank you SoundSpeed

7:55 yes, AKK!s is a check give up for me. AQQ would be a better bet here and I might consider betting without the spade too. It gets more folds right away and allows us to show aggression on future streets.

8:40 it's definitely close and you could convince me it's a call. I would have called vs BTN's pot had SB folded. When another person enters the pot from OOP(SB in this case) after calling a pot sized bet from BTN here's my thought process-
a) BTN will show up with a lot of QQ, 88, 77, Q8:gutter or even bare Q8.
b) SB will often have a straight draw here- 9T, 89T, 569, K9TJ or 2p:gutter type hands that can't check raise or that he did not bet out like Q7JT.
What this means is- we will not have the best hand on the Q turn and will most likely be drawing thin. Also, our straight draws are most likely dominated and we'll be in trouble on a T(like in the actual hand) too! Even on a 5 you will have to fear someone freerolling you.

As a general philosophy, you want to play hands with more equity and a lot of that equity comes from cleaner outs. A hand like Q996 is a superior call here, over our hand- the T is more likely to be a cleaner out and we have the chance to set over set someone on a 9.
