yeah I started hating small double pairs in PLO, I get into too many spots like these..I don't think he has AKJT though, he would certainly 3bet that preflop, or raise the flop. AQ also idk if reg plays this aggro. just one of those tough situations in PLO

Sam,

Yeah, usually ppl are raising top set on this flop, but, there was a third player, initial raiser, who checked flop, and he still has to act ( yeah, most of the time he will fold, but he's 100bb stack and he can check/raise and then vilain is in a great spot), but sure most of the time he will just fold. I still think we can put vilain on TTxx, cause he's in position this deep, and many players wait for the safe turn etc. Now, you said you would call and evaluate rivers. If I was in position, I think that would be great option, because I would be able to see what he does on certain rivers, and maybe even turn my hand into bluff?! (not sure about that). But, as you said, if I was ip and river came 9, Q, K, A, and he checked, I could save money if I was beat by higher set. Out of position, I think I should make my decision on the turn, fold or jam..I think river is going to be so hard to play, because of no reads, and I will have to guess whether he has a made hand which beats us, or something like JTKQ with or without fd, JT with fd, AKQT with fd, combos like that, which I think we have about 60% equity on the turn ( not sure about this, just a guess), and we are crushed by higher sets. Sure, we save money when river comes 9h and he checks behind better hand, but what about the time when we jam into him on K river and he looks us up with straight, or "hero" calls with higher set, or such situations. These spots are very tough in general, especially in zoom games sans real reads. 100bb I think I would just shove and if he has it it's whatever, but 270bb it becomes much harder. 

Deep PLO is fun!

Hey Lefort,

I really liked both of yours "How to be a better poker player" videos. I've been on a big downswing lately, not thinking clearly about the game,  and your ideas, comments, and thoughts were great and made me relax more, think outside the box, relax, and, hopefully, the results will come.

Thanks again, and GL at hs plo 

I don't think you can fold now when you picked up fd. I don't think he would bet QQxx so big here considering that you could've easily hit the straight..and if he has a straight, you have plenty of outs to hit. I would call and lead flush river, check any other. If he has QQ there are so many bad rivers for him, and you could get away cheaply with mid set. But I think turn is a call

I was oop, I bet first. Yeah, I thought the same, I have AAJJ and block many draws, so I think I should check/decide. Check/call turn 

Something went wrong with converter, but anyways, 4 left out of 180 players, 1st is 4.5k, 4th is 1.5k..I'm the shortest stack with 24bb, everyone is competitive. Is my shove vs BTN open +EV? Thanks

I didn't have any reads, cause I don't play zoom that much..If I bet and get called, how can I bet/fold blank turns? Wouldn't I be priced in at that point? I check/called flop, and the turn was 2s...

Both villains are aggro, one of them definetely a reg. Preflop 3bet has to be the main play; now what should be the best flop play? Thanks

I had K high suit As Kh 4h 4c), and yeah, I wouldn't open AK44r from BTN. Idk, since blinds weren't on the laggier side, I though I could open this hand. And I block top set...

Villian is probably a reg, don't know anything about his game. How do you play flop/turn/river? Sorry for the messed up hh.

Hi Phil,
Q679, at 11.30 mark, on Q68r flop, when it went check/check and turn was Kh. You say turn check/raise is ambitious, which I agree with. Yeah, by leading turn you extract value from worse, but you are getting in risk of being raised and then maybe having to fold that strong of a hand+draw?! What do you think about check/calling here, and would you have played this hand differently if it was cash game?
AQT3dd, vs DJK, when you hit runner nut flush on 5699J- Your hand basically has the same value as low boat, ie. 4455, 66xx or so, since he is never raising less than 95xx for value. Since he is also never raising nut flush on river ( if somehow you didn't have the nut flush), I would like to know how would you play a hand like 78xx, or A9xx on the river, assuming you play it the same until the river, like in actual hand. Does betting small to induce bluff shove make sense? I remember long time ago cts made a thread about doing this in NL, can this concept be applied for PLO?
Great videos, thanks for doing this

Hi Steve,
Great video.
The 33 hand, at 28.00. (1500/3000), you opened ep and got 3bet by little kraut; what do you think about folding preflop? You were raising a lot prior to this ( and yeah, you were getting great cards, but they don't know that), and they should start picking on it sooner or later. And it's hard to play this hand oop if you don't flop it. Sure you'll stack him if you hit it, but on certain boards he'll get away. So yeah, in vacuum, what do you think the best play is: 1.opening 2. Folding 3. Open/folding to 3bet?
Thanks!
