Great vid as always (I've watched and enjoyed literally all of your PLO videos, you just usually explain things so clearly as to eliminate the need for a question...)
39:00, the KK83 on AcAs3d6h4d. My first instinct once he bets the river was to check-raise, but you didn't mention it as a possibility. You run-down our flop c/c range as similar hands to our KKxx + some Axxx and some floats. Checking the river should eliminate our pure floats, so once he's capped his range on the turn it feels like our river check-raise will look super credible.
As you say we would be looking to check-raise our A6xx and possibly A4xx (in addition to quads), so if he's a thinking player it seems like he'll be put in an incredibly tough spot with all of his value bets. 44 is probably his only boat (maybe A4xx some small % of the time?), so the range of hands that beat us will likely be made up mostly of straights. We're also presumably never getting 3 bet-bluffed ever.
Is c/r the river as reasonable an option as I think it is and you just didn't happen to mention it, or is there something important I'm missing?
