5/10 HU - Bottom set/gutter vs. NLHE player

[Burdzthewurd]

5/10 PLO HU

Yes, short-stacking is not cool, but guy would sit out when I bought in full (not that I like taking a shot for 1/11th of my roll but w/e), so we agreed to sit in for $500 each (for some reason no one plays 5/10 HU or higher with a full stack on this site at PLO or NLHE). Also didn't get to reload before the hand, so double-suck.

Hero $470
Villain $560

Villain hasn't shown any crazy bluffs, been moderately aggressive preflop though he does raise more often when I limp button than on his button. He almost always pots the flop when raising preflop but slows down on He hasn't pulled any big check-raises and has been cautious with naked overpairs but would usually call flop and turn for PSB. I've never seen him play PLO on the site in the 4 months I've played there.

I'd open raise this preflop.

As played I'd reraise the flop 3/4 - psb.

As played I'd call the turn AI.


I think this is a big draw a lot here...or Two pair + draw. If he had a higher set, I think he keeps betting for value and trying to charge you for draws. And with you being under 50bb, he really doesn't need to get tricky with any big sets.

uhhhhhh call?

[Perestroika]

Yea if he has a higher set you have 5 outs, but I mean come on, your not even deep.

[Burdzthewurd]

Just checking, I called and he had QJ9K with clubs, and river bricked, yay.

[Petteri]

Instant call.
