PLO8 Top set optimal line check
PLO8 200 max
No stats on villan so hes not a regular. Effective stacks are $200. Dealt to hero in BB A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] UTG +1 limps, folded to Sb who completes, hero checks. Flop Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] SB bets 4. Hero pots it to $17, UTG +1 folds, SB raises to $30. What is is likely range?, the min RR is new to me. Whats my best line, is the RR better or the smooth call. I hate smooth calling w/ top set in this game, but the board does look very innocent. If i RR should I put the full pot in? Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks |

Re: PLO8 Top set optimal line check
Repot. Even with a dominating hand like this you can't afford to be sandbagging and giving out cards for cheap. You don't like high cards because of the possibility of a high wrap, you don't like low cards because of the backdoor low draw. The only downside to repotting is that someone with a lower set may wise up and lay it down, but I think that's a risk you have to take so as to charge draws the max.

Re: PLO8 Top set optimal line check
Likely range? Could be worse set, could be straight draw, could be as little as two-pair with backdoor draws feeling you out.
Reraise pot. That's really about the only line here I'd say. You could reraise less I guess, but I'm not. |

Re: PLO8 Top set optimal line check
The board may look innocent, but there are 15 scare cards (AT98) that make your set vulnerable, plus 9% that villain could backdoor low, and if you want to be really paranoid, add an out for a back door flush. You should absolutely repot and if the board doesn't put a scare card out, pot the turn.
I'm not sure how the turn should be played if AT98 hits. What would anybody else suggest? |

Re: PLO8 Top set optimal line check
I repoted of course, just got to thinking afterward what the best line was.
We'd have half our stacks if he calls. I assume I'd get the rest of it in even if the AKT or 9 pops up. |
