I really enjoyed the video and i loved how u got to play against two totally different styles and opponents and how your stack sizes and table images dictated how to play accordingly

I don't play PLO, and I almost never don't watch PLO vids. This one was excellent, though - just what I needed to unwind from the 6m NLHE grind.

Thanks guys, glad you enjoyed it. Hope it helps.

One of the players in the video was nice enough to send me his HHs so we could see the opposite side to the match. I started a thread in the PLO forum on Leggo if anyone has any questions about a specific hand or just wants to see what the other player (Ibetufold33) had.

And as always feel free to post here if you like.

My thoughts:

So he is dealt a really solid hand. 4567ds is a great hand and one that plays well in 3bet pots so I think both sides of preflop are standard.

On the flop I think he can bluff/fold with high success in general. The Q9 and clubs tandem on the flop probably shied him away from a cbet. the Q9 hits a few made hands and draws and I guess he didn't want to waste a large cbet in a reraised pot.

For me, on the flop I think I can easily bet the flop when checked too. I'm not too worried about this player 3betting pre and taking the c/r line too often. Not that I think he "can't" take that line. I just think when he will, he will have a pretty strong hand and just about all of the time when he has a strong hand after 3betting, I believe he'll lead flops and try to build the flop and not risk it getting checked behind. So I think I should bet the flop when checked too and barrel a bunch of turns if needed.

On the turn, as played I think he should lead here after I check behind. He flopped a pair and nothing else but he turned a non nut wrap and a flush draw. His check call isn't bad though, it's just a little too weak and takes a strong draw and plays it weak OOP.

I think my bet on the turn is standard once checked to twice.

Again, his c/c is better than a fold but I think leading in his position on the turn is optimal.

The river lead on his part is odd. It doesn't really look bluffy because he played it so passively. I guess it could be a missed FD on some sort but you typically won't see thinking players check check with no made hand on the flop/turn and then donk out a river bet with air...so his made non nut hand needs to get calls from worse hands and I need to think he'll have air here a bit to call here with two pair and I don't think he'll bluff all that often like this. Basically his bet targets a range that probably won't pay off too often...he needs to have bluffs/air in his leading range a good amount before leading for value with this hand in this spot makes sense.

I think on my end if you analyze the hand and think it through, a raise is standard and the best option on the river. I believe in the heat of the action some players might just give up and muck but we block so hard and his range is never nutty and we can rep the nut hand with our line to a player that is paying attention...a raise here is great and his lead just gives us more in the pot to steal.


That's sort of my take on the hand. If you guys like these HU videos, I can try to make more in the future.

As always great vid and well explained spots.

Played a fair amount of 6max PLOH but ventured into HUs - something I might take a look at after this.
