I think the turn call would be crazy at a lower limit, but if you've ever watched these guys play you'd know that a pot sized raise doesn't always mean a set or better like it does at PLO $100. They're always flinging money into the pot with very marginal holdings, so his call was probably standard there. He did have 11 strong outs (without knowing other hole cards) after all.

[/ QUOTE ]It's not that complicated.

You people should know that he wasn't calling with a pair of fives. He was calling with a big straight draw. At the levels I play, the raise would mean broadway. At these levels it could mean a lot of things. He has a lot of ways to win on the river against the villians range. This would include bluffing a flush card (which obviously wouldn't work in this particular hand.)

Awesome hand.

[/ QUOTE ]If you normally put someone on broadway on the turn, it must be a ultra-tough reading hands at your levels.

[/ QUOTE ]I would fold on the turn against typical opponents.

On the river I might bluff 20% of the time. I couldn't read maxypaxy for a draw. I would put him on a made hand that would usually call my bluff on the river (AKxx, 24xx, a set, maybe AJxx, QT wouldn't check here.) Of course this is with no reads. This is the benefit of tricky plays and raising with big draws. It made maxypaxy's hand harder to read.
