Re: 100 PLO middle set + bare ace, unraised pot OOP

I don't think ribbo was advocating a C/C line, but anyway. The point I'm trying to make here is that I think your flop strategy in these cases should try to set things up for a sizable turn bet on a...

Re: Can I fold here?

The more and more I think about it, the fact that you have the As, it's more likely he has a smaller set and he puts you on a draw.

Re: 100 PLO middle set + bare ace, unraised pot OOP

Glass, I'm not quite getting your message. I wouldn't think of C/Cing the flop and turn hoping for the board to pair. I'm worried that the bet flop, bet turn line will put about 20-40% of my stack in...

Re: Can I fold here?

It's a pretty bad flop call on his part with a hand which beats you here. If he's aggressive, easy call. He thinks you missed, and the turn card is safe enough to push with a smaller set.

Lead out the flop for half the pot. By doing this you will find yourself getting raised by 88 and KJ.

Re: $2/4 PLO Nuts on turn bad river

With the A of diamonds out there, you cannot reliably take him off a non nut flush without a good read. I really doubt he has the same hand. Check. The only better hand he reliably folds is 56.

Re: Two all ins and me

Also, their hands interfered with each other (and yours) substantially, and you had spades and diamonds dominated. Notice how things would change if one of them was playing 4567.

Afterthought - Maybe I need to classify the flops as
