OP, 10 points for being straight to the point.

Personally i see the 4b as an effort to avoid the post flop game with a hand that is harder to play. We get enough of our stack in pre then we simplify our post flop decisions, the shove puts button in an awkward spot with his overs like KKxx and large rundows.

99xx, 66xx and 77xx aren't really expect to be 3b vs and UTG open alot and generally only show up when accompanying larger over and ds mid rundown kind of hands.

If we're just calling pre and checking flop we'll be facing a cbet some 80% time, we choose to peel and there isn't exactly alot of cards outside of A that improve our hand, we essentially turn out equity into a bluff catcher in that situation imo.

Check/shoving the flop is another option to try and pick up a little bit of his semi bluff range but with less than 1 PSB left i find it hard to fold.

Micros you can play straight foward using a bit of guidance from a basic hud, nothing too deep.

Bankroll, just keep doing what you're doing. Can be a more aggressive with BRM in the micros and open it up more as you move up stakes.

Zooms good for volume but the rake and nitty feild, Conversly normal tables break alot.

Use controlled shots, set a stop loss and drop down when you hit it. Avoid tilting and jumping up stakes to regain losses, busted my micro roll few times grinding up from vpp too 500 then getting drunk and jumping in the 500pl pool lol.

You got most of the money in good, back door nfd and some fold equity, shove seems fine.

Could GII on any street with that runout.

I'm reading it as hero 5b not 4b?

Either way, can call the villian 4b ip. Vs most people you'll be getting it in behind vs a 4b preflop but at 2pl hard to tell :)

Fold/Shove. Depends how heavily his 4bet range is weighted too AAxx. Some only 4b AAxx exclusively, other have some good rundowns and really good KK in there also. Player Dependent.

Sigh Fold. I'd be inclined to peel with a fd to back up our 2pr. Don't know 100pl but can't imagine too many people c/r pot as a cold bluff.

You say you put him on a range that almost all of which beats us, think best case scenario we're flipping worst were dead.

Think AAxx plus FD could be in there also?

Not infront of PC but pretty sure even trip AAAx still has good equity AIPF. The idea being CO needs to improve, we don't.

Would GII. No idea what he's reppng, set 2's? 2c doesn't change much and is he really taking that line with flopped set JJxx,55XX?

What would you be looking to fold vs a river shove if you chose to peel? Lot of draws out there your going to have to sigh fold on if that's the alternative plan.

(Disclaimer: I Are Fish)

As you said CO 4b is AAxx overwhelmingly majority of the time but even assuming AAxx 100% of the time I think we're still getting JUST enough pot odds to call the 4b with our hand here.

3.15/10X100 = 31.5%, we've about 34% versus random AAxx and even 31% vs AAds suited to the heart with rags, add in good rundowns then we start to get crushed. Not taking into account implied odds and possibly some Fold Eq on later streets if checked back.

Flop gives us the pot odds to call with the rags and back door flushes, personally I'd be a little bit more fit/fold here but get the feeling that's not the right play.

My .02c :)

hi

Interested in Skype study group, playing about 2-3hr day atm to get a feel for things. Would be good to run through things with some people, see how my thinking on the game is and what not.

TT22 ss UTG is a fold for me, doesn't seem nitty at all.

Personally, pre-flop looks ok, flop c-bet is fine, turn shove is best case scenario?

There isn't any way you could have extracted more value? If the guys got a straight or set on the turn and wants to get it in with you holding the nut FD, let him.

You got it in with the best and lost, just chalk it up to varience IMO.

EDIT: Apologies, misread hand. Thought action ended on the turn :/.

Personally i'd never be folding KKxx in the BB to a CO open. Average villain is opening CO reasonably wide and you've strong equity against his range.

Assuming my math isn't off (quite possible it is) than:
.30 + .20 =.50
.50 + .30 = .80
.30/.80 = 0.375
= 37.5% required to call.
Assuming a basic CO open of say 30% we've still 55% equity in this pot.

Personally it'd be a call or 3bet.

'The Pot-Limit Omaha Book by Tri (slowhabit) Nguyen' is reasonably easy reading and straight to the point. Tom Chambers has a couple of heavier books, 'Advanced PLO Theory 1 & 2' but i could never get through them, real math heavy. Plenty floating around in PDF format but majority are a bit outdated.
