On the Q966 turn shove, if you did have the value hands you're repping, would you flat or still shove the turn given the SPR?

I mostly play NL so I may be off on this, but in NL your reasoning makes sense as hand combinations are so much fewer overall and thus in specific spots that when our value range is narrow and we give our opponent great odds we almost lower his appropriate bluffing frequency to zero as we are so value based.
In PLO as we drive up significantly the combinations of possible holdings doesn't this problem actually merit some concern? The majority of my concern stems from our preflop ranges lining up where 66 and 77 as blockers factor much more frequently into his holdings than say if the blockers were JJ and QQ we were trying to represent, though this probably just drives down significantly our c/r bluffing range on the river to begin with so I might just be writing a circular argument haha.

As Zachary said, its a fairly common occurrence given that he is foregoing his SD value and using his blockers to bluff that he will make the same decision again a non-insignificant amount of the time and given the polarization of our c/r range we may come into a situation where we are losing far more than the risk we are trying to mitigate in the first place by not c/shoving.

Was going to make same point as djk on river check raise sizing. It solves the problem of finding more hands to turn into bluffs given our c/c turn line up till the river.
Considering that our range almost never contains 66 or 77 here as a turn c/c due to the reasons you pointed out, and I'd expect him to play his double blockers exactly like this, how much of a concern do you think we should have to fear a river bluff 3bet from those blockers if we c/min raise the river?

Same. Get the error in Chrome but not IExplorer or FF.

With the 98s 3bet pot c/r from UTG, if the turn comes a card such that you decide to check,what do you think villain should do with KQo? KK?

Glad you are making videos again and I enjoyed the webcam. Gave a fresh take on what has become a very flushed out method of video review.
