Weird PLO river spot w/ two pair + naked ace.
 

Relevant stacks: SB $2900, I cover by a couple hundred. No read other than that he seems mediocre.

He has 1800 left. Folding seems disgusting, yet I'm very likely beat. Just call or bluff shove?

Bluffing the naked A in Omaha is so fun. Not sure if this is the best guy to do it against, but that bet is just so weak, and I don't think we have a whole lotta showdown value

bluff shove

Re: Weird PLO river spot w/ two pair + naked ace.
 

Yea, I bluff shove too because he seems mediocre and this might actually be an attempt at a blocking bet and not an inducement.

He is folding anything that he was truly blocking with (QT/babyflush/poorly played set) at least 70-80% of the time. His hand looks a lot like a poorly played TJQx to me (assuming a lowish buyin)

bluff shoving in online omaha tournies is a bad bad idea IME. Generally speaking (and maybe its changed I havent played a non ftops/wcoop plo tourney in a while) but there are just so so so many hold 'em players who have no idea how to properly value a hand, and will make the classic bad play of bet calling. I mean think about it, there's very few draw a good player should have anyway after the turn, i mean maybe like AQT9cc or something.

meh i fold i think no matter how gross it feels.

Re: Weird PLO river spot w/ two pair + naked ace.
 

The more I think about the more I like a shove on this river against a bad player rather than a good player. I mean isn't a good player only doing this to induce a bluff? It's just too obvious of a blocking bet.

I like a bluff shove here. He's rivered a straight and I think he'll fold it often enough if you have a reasonable image.

bump

Re: Weird PLO river spot w/ two pair + naked ace.
 

Shove. Smells like has to be a TJQK type hand, esp since you have the Ac. Less likely to be a set. He'd havta be pretty bad to draw to the non-nut flush without also a wrap. Would help immensely to know how likely he might pay off w the 2nd or 3rd nut flush. \Eh, push anyway.
