PLO session + a hand (help plz!)
Posted in Poker | View Comments (4)
 

Just played a session of 100plo and it was kind of fun, definitely something different. I dont have PTO so heres a rough graph of proceedings:



Emphasis on plo swongs. I dont really know well how i played. Started off quite tight trying to play "properly" but thats pretty boring tbh so i thought Id try playing a higher vpip approach. I got in a few spots were i didnt know what to think at the time due to inexperience. I figured most of them out OK but heres one that im really unsure of:

Poker Stars $0.50/$1 Pot Limit Omaha Hi - 6 players
The Official DeucesCracked.com Hand History Converter

CO: $224.20
BTN: $61.10
SB: $210.40
BB: $100.00
UTG: $57.35
Hero (MP): $210.95

Pre Flop: ($1.50) Hero is MP with T 2 A A
1 fold, Hero raises to $3.50, CO calls $3.50, 1 fold, SB raises to $13, BB calls $12, Hero raises to $55.50, 1 fold, SB calls $42.50, 1 fold

Flop: ($127.50) Q 4 T (2 players)
SB bets $124.50, Hero raises to $155.45 all in, SB calls $30.40 all in

Turn: ($437.30) 2 (2 players - 2 are all in)

River: ($437.30) J (2 players - 2 are all in)

So theres a lot of money in preflop and Im getting pretty much 2:1 to call, but this is a pretty bad flop for me. In the end I thought 1) I has AA and 2) It looks like he wants a fold so hes probably got a draw like AKJx/89Jx or a hand like KKxxhh with the xx being something helpful to his hand. Obv I decided to call it off but i would imagine a fold might be for the best? Thoughts from anyone more experienced in PLO would be appreciated plz.

Otherwise I havent been playing much poker and probably wont do so until next week. Ive got a big night saturday at the Leeds student Union and im off to see my brother in York on Sunday for his birthday. When Im properly recovered Im going to start to play 100nl again and will try to update frequently and provide a few hands etc

Until then, take care and thanks for reading.

I think he is thinking: "He has Aces, and I can beat that"

Your hand is faced up and he is betting pot, either with a better hand or better equity.
I am no PLO expert, but I don't like to 4bet Bad Aces 200bb deep.

like alex gotay said your hand is face up.. now your opponent can pretty much see a flop and act accordingly when the flop is out. Omaha hi/lo i prob would have 4 bet with AA2x.if your opponent has a double pair here pre your only approx a 56% fav with your hand face up.
