Re: PLO8 MTT - A23Tr in BB facing a raise
Here are my thoughts...not really sure how good my line(s) are though, so please take my thoughts with a grain of salt.
1. yes, standard
2. marginal - I'd be more inclined to fold b/c the pot could get really large and it's an ok hand OOP.
could be villian c-betting, might have over pair(aces)
higher flush draw/top 2/wrap broadway draw are possibilities too
less likely - nld (with possible pair) since villain seems to play a wide range of hands
3.
A. Ac - pot it/call all-in
B. any other ace - not really sure - is check/call the right line?
-> could be behind to broadway, but have outs to wheel (4), a boat (4), or at least a low (12).
C. any other 3 or 2 - check/call turn;
4. low card for flush - check/call turn/river
5. high card for flush - based on opponent's action, hard to know if you're drawing dead in this spot with such a low flush; I'd probably save my chips -> check/fold to PSB
6. check/call to river; flush draw is nice to backdoor for high, but not sure if it's good;
-> my line for #6 seems conservative...is that standard?
In any of these turn scenarios (assuming call with 2925 in pot on turn), is a blocking bet a good idea in this scenario (say for 1500?)? Is there a time to ever do this, or is it just bad b/c you're inflating the pot for an all-in reraise? Or are the stakes too low to try this type of move?
