10-25 Live PLO. Standard play?

[Neuman101]

I absolutely raise pot on flop...with less than 100 BBs, i wouldn't think twice about it...and if i did call flop and a blank hit...I would think I am always raising the turn, and going after the 1800 in the pot already, they no longer have any implied odds against you. (and I will raise hands far far worse than that on the button given your position and the preflop action...)

[greywolf]

raise preflop for sure, maybe raise flop or turn. As played folding river would be criminal.

Really the amount of big blinds doesn't dictate how I play the game. Yes, $2400 dollars is only ~100 BBs. What is a bigger decision... a 500BB pot at 2-4 stakes or a 200BB pot at 10-25 stakes?

I've bought in for 2500 to 3000 before in this game and I find I do better buying in short. I'm not trying to impress anyone buying in deep.

There was an annoying guy who kept rebuying 500 dollars at a time and kept going all-in. Now 500 I agree is way too short, but even 500 dollars is a significant amount of money. I'm really kind of surprised the majority here would call this river for 1600 dollars. Maybe I give people too much credit and I should making more calls like this.

2 points:

1) Was he a Dutch guy with a ponytail?

2) You should have raised every street for sure, but PLO there are alot of possible drawing hands on this board here that could have crapped out and try to push you off the hand assuming you had a draw but also missed (since you played it so passively)

As everyone said you should have raised preflop with a hand that does well HU or multiway (ie build a pot). On the flop you have TTP + OESD, so you have a massive hand and need to get as much in as fast as you can to charge other draws to draw against you.

If a 200BB pot at 10-25 is a bigger decision then a 500bb pot at 2-4 then you are playing very under rolled. The amount of dollars in the pot should not dictate play, the amount of big blinds should.

raise, raise and raise.

where was this game?

[MHP]

Game was in a Detroit, Michigan casino. It runs twice a week and has a fairly good amount of regulars. Its about as big as the game gets around here.

I guess I'm not as aggressive as many here, but I agree that the optimal play was raising the whole way even with a vulnerable hand like this. I guess my reasoning for not raising is I can find better places to play a large pot.

For some reason I knew you were talking about the Greektown game....dont know how but I knew....good game to play in for sure and the lady you are talking about is a gambler and I dont even play the game, but I woulda push preflop and flop nuff said

Its already been stated, but just to rehash you should be raising this on the button, primarily because these kinds of hands broaden your range preflop making it harder for your opponents to put you on a hand. Though there is some deception to just calling, i.e- they probably are not putting you on a very specific range, I am assuming you are raising in late position with AA and KK type hands, and if you are only raising with these hands you are narrowing your range for your opponents, but you knew this already???
