$25 PLO 6-max: C9 Sucks at PLO: On the turn, I click buttons

K, so PLO is by far my worst game, and its probably one of the ones that plays the biggest in the 8-game mix. I notice that I spend all the HORSE/2-7/NLHE rounds accumulating profit, and then dumping it back at PLO. Fix meh plz.

8-game, villain has a yellow dot which means "Fish with spazzy tendencies", rather than the weak/tight variety. Other than that, no notes.

So thoughts on my flop & turn line? Flop looked too wet to c-bet with just aces, plus I can hit a lot of good turn cards.

On the turn, one of those good turn cards hits. Villain is fishy & somewhat aggressive. Given the equity my hand has against my opponent's range, I decided to make a thin value raise. Seemed like a good idea at the time, but I have no idea in hindsight.

CO: $10.57
Hero (BTN): $28.60
SB: $47.58
BB: $22.72

Pre Flop: ($0.35) Hero is BTN with A♥ 5♥ 5♣ A♠
1 fold, Hero raises to $0.85, SB calls $0.75, 1 fold

Flop: ($1.95) 3♣ K♣ Q♥ (2 players)
SB checks, Hero checks

Turn: ($1.95) 8♥ (2 players)
SB bets $1.25, Hero raises to $5.61

I like pot controlling with 1 pair + draw to the nuts that is less than 12 outs so i can call off all non-club non broadway rivers, especially when our showdown value is slightly ahead of this retard.

Flop check is good and getting shoved on here just sux bawls.

1) PLO pretty much plays the biggest of any poker game.

2) You raised on a card that should pretty much help no one really. I would just call this turn assuming my opponent was bluffing. Then re-evaluate on the river.

Raise is fine tbh, it is as you said, very very thin. I mean, if I am raising this on the turn, I am raising with the believe that even when I miss my heart that I am turning my hand into a bluff to get 2 pair to fold on the river. And you would obviously expect to get 3 bet on this turn very often but you know that

what's the plan if we get 3bet?

Yeah, that is obviously the main concern with it. I think unless we have actual stats, we really dont know how to approach it but most of the time, we obviously have to fold. I think the only real hand to 3 bet us is KK or QQ

Come to think of it I really doubt he has a set so I think this raise is OK.

Give me one reason you do not think he has a set?

i've been sitting in these games and while I may not have played this specific villain, generally this type of bet will be Kx after sensing weakness or Axcc/JT/air; if they missed their flop check-raise they'd bet pot always.

he plays a set the same way, he does not only have to bet pot...

nah imo

That is not a justification for anything.

But reads on a specific group of players are.

Results to try and stimulate more discussion:

Villain called with J:heart: 4:heart: J:spade: K:diamond:

9:heart: hits on the river, Villain calls a PSB.

Pretty much as expected. Wouldn't expect this group to fold any pair+weak draw hands. Villain should fold this from SB although against you (i.e., someone who sucks at PLO) it's probably ok.
