Re: Blocking Bets in PLO
[ QUOTE ]
I guess this could work in theory against a bad player, but it looks really transparent to a good player and if I have top two in this situation, I'm repotting almost always. Also, even bad players catch hands like top set and middle set which will gleefully repot here no matter what you're representing. Basically, the gain is so small when the play works and you get to see your draw for a little less than the right price that it's not worth it to flush $40 down the toilet the rest of the time.

The one advantage to this play is you will pick up a few pots when you opp was trying to steal on the flop, otherwise you will be at least called by better draws and raised by two pair on up.
On the other hand you might try playing an occassional set like this, and after your opps have seen it a few times use your blocking bet.
