Re: FT Hand vs Shortie: What is your play?
Not to be results orientated, but what about the merits of SB's turn check-raise? Risking $70 to win $35 with very little backup on that board (if you have any reasonable hand/draw you almost have to call) strikes me as absolutely terrible. The key points being that this is a lousy way to try to represent a straight, especially the KQ, and his shortstack preventing him from firing again on the river.
What hand range do you think SB could have put you on that could make this play profitable? What hands would you have considered folding given your action so far?
I guess this is one of my weaker areas in PLO. I find it difficult to think that a good player would make this move, with this hand, in this spot. In your position I would be thinking, "is this guy as stupid as he seems?"
Am I correct that SB is spewing, or do I underestimate the aggression level of a typical good player?
