$2 PLO 6-max: assault again in river?

[skavenger]

Hi guys, my ask is about the river... there's probably someone else three of a kind, but there's a high card on the river, is it time to stop the aggression? Or raise "x" and fold if there's action?

Thank you for posting

As you saw here we can be betting the river for value vs this Villain type. Considering both V checked river after you checked then yes we would bet 40-60% pot for value and fold to pot raises as this V type is only raising nuts and not bluffing with high frequencies.

We have to be careful not to bet smaller than 40% because that is when we might trigger the V with the full house to turn it into a bluff by accident.

Hope this helps

I think your hand is definitely strong enough to bet the river.

It would be a tough spot if you were raised, but I don't think folding the river to that hypothetical raise would be correct against all but the very tightest opponents.

thanks guys, you helped a lot!

yes to the value bet on the river, you already reraise the turn after all

and yes to calling a raise on the river, i'll even call a shove there. the hands that beats us are 5J (but nobody reraise our reraise on turn so we're save i believe) & JJ (they might call the reraise w/ over pair on the turn, but to win in PLO we cant play scared)

Nice thoughts, and BU was essentially all-in, you were basically heads up with CO on the river, so this is another reason you could bet.
