wtf... i don't think you can ever find a fold here no matter what. Good spot for him to stab a bluff in there but more importantly, he's value betting a lot of worse hands here as well. Get your call on, sir!

i don't think there are many books on PLO out there that would improve your game any more than just posting hands and commenting on hands in this section of this site. Books aren't going to give you an exact answer on "how big does my bet need to be in this situation" because poker has so many variables that there is no right answer. Don't look for an exact science, just fully focus your mind on the HH's posted and it can do wonders for your game. As a rule of thumb, when reading posts, ask yourself "Why?" a LOT

no info on villain(s) makes this pretty tough. If there were no player behind you, i think i would shove this flop. When a player 3bets from the BB its gonna be AAxx a vast majority of the time. In this scenario, you have really good equity against most AAxx combo's (not great against AAQx or AAJx but even against those, you have plenty of 2pair outs. HOWEVER in this case, with a player behind you, i think a fold is the right play. Because of stack sizes being somewhat small, If you were to call you would almost have to get it in on any turn regardless (aside from maybe an A or Q) and since you are only drawing to 4 nut outs, your hand really doesn't play very strongly against more than one opponent (i.e you get it in 3 way vs a set and a wrap and you are pretty much drawing dead). Summary: If you choose to continue the hand (either by raise or call) you are committing yourself to the pot. So if you get it in against the BB only, you are probably flipping vs his range but its those times when all 3 of you get it in that are just gonna crush your br.

Upon reviewing this post, it definitely reads a little choppy but it's the best i can come up with atm. I guess i'll have to work on getting what's in my head onto the screen with a little more fluidity :) glglglglgl

I disagree with the blocker bet idea.. with what I can gather about this opponent, he isn't taking this line with QT. This means his range is pretty much polarized to a set or a flush draw (i think he always checks back QT on river). So let's say he has a set. He's probably folding to the blocker bet on the river with the completed flush out there and the likely straight in our hand- so there isn't much value in betting. Also, with a weak opponent i expect him to usually check back his sets here, so we don't have to worry about being bluffed off our hand. Now let's assume he had the flush draw (and got there). He's obviously never folding to our blocker bet and we might even be value-towning ourselves in situations where he has a baby flush that he might just check back. So in summation, IF we can assume his range is limited to sets and flush draws (which i believe we can with some certainty) any type of bet on the river is burning money. As played, i think the river is a check/fold
