Default Sick Situation in 2-4 PLO game on Stars

So I am playing this 2-4 PLO game on PS and the following hand arises:
Seat 1: XCappucinoX1 ($485.70 in chips)
Seat 2: pooey ($884 in chips)
Seat 3: 8oggo8 ($400 in chips)
Seat 4: fzoohtt ($837.20 in chips)
Seat 5: lbrahim ($213.95 in chips)
Seat 6: bigjwhoa ($410 in chips)
XCappucinoX1: posts small blind $2
pooey: posts big blind $4
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to XCappucinoX1 [Tc Ks 8d Ts]
8oggo8: raises $10 to $14
fzoohtt: calls $14
lbrahim: calls $14
bigjwhoa: folds

Preflop Raiser is on stone cold tilt, so i can call a raise from him with almost anything so i decide to see a flop here.

XCappucinoX1: calls $12
pooey: calls $10
*** FLOP *** [Qs 6d Td]
XCappucinoX1: checks
pooey: bets $40
8oggo8: calls $40
fzoohtt: raises $187 to $227
lbrahim: folds


I would like to hear your opinions on what I should do here.
I will post the rest of the hand history shortly

So you have no read on the flop raiser at all? If that's the case, I'd just shove. He's not going to need a lot to come over the top of the weak lead. I think 66 and QT are going to be in most players' ranges here and you'll see a draw fairly frequently too.

yeah plus backdoor spades are obv. coming.


There are times in my life when I've laid this down, though. There is a group of players that will only c/r with a set, and they're a good group to ID.

Although if you don't push, you won't have the potential thrill of spiking a one-outer.

I think its important to note that the bettor and the raiser are both 2BI+ deep making it less likely the raiser has anything but the most premium drawing hand or QQ. I still probably push here without a read, but you are not giving up a ton of equity by folding.

I know it is unorthodox, but what about just calling? If we put the raiser on big draw or QQ+ it would be clever to give the other players the odds to come in with a draw since if you are good against the raiser the other to players are likely to be blocking each other from hitting there flush or straight draws. I guess I would be pushing most turns if I cold-called on the flop. If I were to call the flop then both players got all 840 in behind me I may vomit and fold. I am probably way out there with this, so tell me why I am wrong.

Looking at the hand again, if you know you are against a mid-stakes stars regular I think it is a good fold.

Default Re: Sick Situation in 2-4 PLO game on Stars

So I decided to fold thinking that with 3 ppl in this pot I am going to either be against top set, top two, bottom set, or one or multiple straight draw flush draw hands. I didn't feel like it was worth putting in the money here because if I happen to be against QQ then i am drawing virtually dead and if I am against straight draw flush draw hands, then I am also not much of a favorite. I didn't even think long about this....for some reason it just seemed to be an easy clear fold but then after looking back at the hand history I had second thoughts about how "easy" of a fold it really should have been.

XCappucinoX1: folds
pooey: calls $187
8oggo8: calls $187
*** TURN *** [Qs 6d Td] [5s]
pooey: checks
8oggo8: bets $159 and is all-in
fzoohtt: raises $437.20 to $596.20 and is all-in
pooey said, "i have set of queens and still gonna get outdrawn"
pooey: calls $596.20
*** RIVER *** [Qs 6d Td 5s] [2d]
*** SHOW DOWN ***
pooey: shows [4h Qc Qh Ah] (three of a kind, Queens)
fzoohtt: shows [Kd 9d 8c Jc] (a flush, King high)
fzoohtt collected $874.40 from side pot
8oggo8: mucks hand
fzoohtt collected $1225 from main pot
*** SUMMARY ***
Total pot $2102.40 Main pot $1225. Side pot $874.40. | Rake $3
Board [Qs 6d Td 5s 2d]
Seat 1: XCappucinoX1 (small blind) folded on the Flop
Seat 2: pooey (big blind) showed [4h Qc Qh Ah] and lost with three of a kind, Queens
Seat 3: 8oggo8 mucked [Kh As Jd 6h]
Seat 4: fzoohtt showed [Kd 9d 8c Jc] and won ($2099.40) with a flush, King high
Seat 5: lbrahim folded on the Flop
Seat 6: bigjwhoa (button) folded before Flop (didn't bet)

Against an unknown I'd shove but there is a lot of players on stars against which I'd fold.

PS: Stars' regulars at mid stakes are generally tighter than what I see on FT or UB (not that many games run there). I just play Stars because the UI lets me play a lot of tables at once.
