PLO2 few hands

[Jernej Zorec]

I decided to start out with PLO, here are some of bigger hands
from today, any comment is appreciated

No real reads on villians, although no one was playing really aggressive or making bad calls

hand 1:
i know the pf call is probably bad
i'm more interested on how to play this post-flop

way too loose of a call in hand one on the flop for half your stack with just an open ender. hand 2 is a fold on the turn no brainer, but because you flopped the nuts you couldnt let it go. hand 3 fold to the raise pre flop most of the time you're not deep enough to call.

[jocelyn1985]

Hand 1: I would indeed fold pre because of such flops as this. I wouldn't raise flop here. If you had a monster wrap (i.e. QJ97 on that flop) rather than just an up and down, a raise would be fine.

Hand 2: Bet probably with the intention of folding is fine. Especially with the diamonds out there, you're probably in pretty bad shape.

Hand 3: To be honest, if I had no stats on this guy in the BB, I'd fold pre. Your hand is just too weak against what he is representing (AAxx). As played, once you see that flop the money is going in. Against AAxx on that flop I think you've got enough equity to play for 3/4 buyin.

Hands 1 and 3 fold preflop. Hand 2 fold turn.

Ewwwwww. No point telling you how to play the rest of the hand if you can't manage the easiest part, namely folding preflop. You really need to fold garbage like this. Imagine if the flop came AT5, and another player also had AT. He will have redraws where you do not with his AKQT. There are just too many nasty situations when your cards are uncoordinated like this, far outweighing the few times you make a flush (which is something like 24.5% less likely to happen thanks to the third club in your hand).

[alavet]

hand 1 dont need to reraise flop
and fol turn

hand 2 check/call turn and probably bet/fold river

hand 3 you neednt reraise flop, if you raise make it max to get the maximum chance he fold


also, hand 1,3 should be folded preflo
