Re: PLO8 $200: Ugly river card
I think as played you have to call. You put ~50% of the effective stack in and you’re getting 2.7 to 1 odds.
Does anyone check behind on the turn or bet less considering the stack sizes? I don’t...

Re: Bottom set on flop, one low board

Big Dave D - how much profit do you think you will make playing something like A27J UTG in pot-limit?

Are you implying this is ever a fold based on hand value alone?

Re: PLO8 $200: Horrible Turn card
It would be hard to put a villain with a VPIP of 36 on a hand that crushes you. So I don’t think a C/C is terrible but the pot is small and you are OOP so I would lean towards a fold. On the other...
