Was playing this to see the flop. Was looking to see if I might hit a str8 flush cheap. Do you think I should have played it out ?

not even sure what you are asking but all i know is that raising that turn is looking to get raped.

 

[cjatud2012]

I may be wrong on this but I don't think 4433ds has that much value. If you flop a set it is almost always bottom set. When you flop a straight with it, your straight is often going to be a sucker straight and you won't have any straight redraws - the only redraw you'll have is the weak flush draw, which you aren't going to have all that often. So maybe I am nitty but I'd fold it pre-flop.

Once you get to the flop though, I think a float is fine - I'll usually fold to another bet, then bet myself if checked to. The small turn bet though is interesting, I'm not sure to interpret it as weak or strong, but since my plan was to fold to a bet on the turn I probably stick with that. When he 3-bets us, we have one out at best, fold.

pretty spot on but we should not fold the turn a lot of axxx hands will lead without being a boat

Ah, fair point I suppose. Would we be able to call a river bet though?

 

[Marginal]

depends on who it is

Btn was playing anything that breathed. I put him on a K high flush draw. Wasn't too sure if this was correct here pushing as hard as I did.

Yeah but it never happens

BBB, I do not like how that hand was played. I have to leave now but when I come back, Ill tell you why.

 

[bubbasbestbabe]

Hand selection sucked but it's a superstition of mine to always play first hand when I sit down at table, (yes I know it's stupid but what superstition isn't?).
I'm thinking that this might be a bad leak for me though, (playing the bottom set).

what is hero doing buying in for 80? I mean if your not buying in for 200 there just move down to 50plo.

That's the max for this type of game. It's a shallow stack table. This is all I play now.

It's so nice to win against a FT pro.

Soi Nguyen.

And this is why you don't chase fushes in PLO without an Ace or King.

Hey looks like a glitch with the hand converter.

 

[Marginal]

why is hero potting the turn? Are we trying to make the worst possible decision in all these hands?

 

[feitr]

With all due respect bubba, if I were you I would watch alot of PLO vids/read a basic PLO book and move down to micro PLO to work on your game as almost all of the hands (other than the completely standard ones) are grossly misplayed and suggest to me that you aren't really thinking things through.

The hand with the 4s is a flat on the turn as a standard and i'd be wanting to fold river if faced with a bet vs alot of villains. Only way raising turn could possibly be good is if you own the soul of villain and know that he will bet call all ax hands and 3B all boats, which means you are raise folding a boat on the turn. As played the turn is an insta snap fold vs anybody who isn't maniacal as nobody should bluff there and nobody should be raising ax for any reason. I'd be amazed if villain showed up with anything but aq+ here.

The top pair plus nfd on the straight board is a terrible turn bet - there are a billion people in teh pot and a huge chance one of them has a straight so whenever you get action you have 20% equity and even if you got a call or actoin from a worse flush draw that fd almost certain has side cards that make it an equity fav vs you - basically in a 5 way pot if you get any action on that turn you are absolutely crushed.

Anyways sorry if this seemed harsh but I'd be amazed if you didn't bust your roll pretty quick playing 2/4 like that. The variance in PLO is massive so a few good sessions could easily make you think you are playing way better than you are.

 

[Marginal]

As was told to me by a lot of people, I am on a new adventure. I shall be taking up HU PLO and trying to see where I can go with it.

Wish me teh lucks.

 

[cAPSLOCK]

Good Luck man... hope you surprise even yourself.

 

[MaxiRodriguez]

Ugh I really need motivation to play

it was going so good until 1m other things popped up, and the two times I did play in like the past 3w or something i played soo bad,

GL w/ the HU marg should be lolz

 

[OzExorcist]

Wondering if I played both of these right - I think AAxx hands have been ones where I've been spewing a lot and I've been trying to improve, thoughts / feedback appreciated.

They are passive but correct unless villains in second hand stack FD and two pair type hands.
