I understand that it isnt the best flop for me, but being checked to me, I feel I only have to beat one person (Button) then I should be good with an allin on a blank turn and they have no odds to call with NFD or set...

Live games play very different from online ones. Most online folk go bonkers with the nuts whereas a lot of "old time" players play it more cautiously.

In the little time I've been there, im up 100, showed one potsize bet bluff on the river with a missed full wrap... Other than that BB and SB know me as a solid player, and I know Button from before we started playing poker... Im not really short on money, but it was just my 2nd time in the 5-5 game at that casino... So I wasnt known to most of the table, even though I knew most of them.

This would tend to lead them to making the assumptions that I said. Most PLO players are gamblers. But they can be astute too, and most people getting a new face to the game will assume that you are clueless. Especially if they have seen you in the baby game as well.

If he has AA + NFD.. He SHOULDNT pass to a potsize bet on the turn? Why not... What can he put me on other than a set, or straight... Which means hes not getting odds to call a 700 bet on the turn with NFD (Not including his set giving him a win)...

And did say *if* he could see your hand. The point is, unless he called the flop ridiculous thin, he is probably calling this turn. Especially, if like a lot of live PLOers, he is an eager tilter.

Basically, if I check behind, and a blank comes on the river, and he checks to me, I check... Theres no reason to put any more money in the pot without some kind of hand..

[/ QUOTE ]

There are not many blanks. The *reason* you should want to get in on the turn is exactly that there are so few blanks. The question is what do you do if he bets.
