I'll post the hand in 2 stages a la Bedi/Blakey.

Stacks are 160bbs effective. I've just resat at a table so have no info on villain. I don't know if he is a reg etc.

I open the cutoff with  6s 7s 7d 8h to 3.50 and get a call from the BB.

Flop..  Ahrt  Qh  7s

Villain checks and I bet 7. He raises to 28.

We?

Dunno really mate. Just have to decide whether you love bottom set. Usually not for me but sometimes it's nice.

I guess you can make it 60 and pass to a shove? With no info you have to assume you're behind to a bigger set there.

If he does a flat call then it's all in on any none heart turn.

Really tough spot without reads. I think you just have to play it abc and assume that if he puts a lot of money in the pot he must have a good hand.

Raise for info!? Matt !!

I raise for info all the time. Don't you?

No, never!

I raise for value or bluff and get info as I do it.

Well what else can you do in this situation?

You're raising your bottom set for value but if you get re-raised you have to assume that you're behind unless you fancy a spew and hope he's got a draw or is bluffing.

With no other reads on your opponent where else are you going to get your info other than betting patterns?

Call jam blank turns.

Just get it in! this is cash right if he's flatting with QQ+ then gl to him, but has it reads im going for 2hearts + inside stght draw?

Bit of a leak tbh.

The main reason to bet/raise if for information. Any value or bluff expected value you receive is as a side effect of the information you were seeking in the first place.

Ok so I called.

Turn was an Ace.

He quickly bet 62 into 66.

We?

fold pretty quick, terrible barrel card and we is dead mostly v his value range

Can't see him banging away if he has it on that turn card, pretty happy he has a dead draw so probs just flat and then call river.

I agree with Flushy up to the turn, not sure about river though because I don't think it's that common that people fire the third barrel without it here at PLO100.

you have full house.

would you bet so big with aq qq or a6?

I dont think so

But I am an omaha idiot and I am still calling all the way.


I think the timing of his bet on the turn is quite important tho.

This was my thinking. I called. River was a deuce and he put QQ in my eye.

so he disguised his hand by making it look like he didnt have it? and this was in poker? what a fckin low life!!!!!

meh dont think he really had a clue what he was doing as the only thing he beats are floats and 77, so his river jam is pretty poor.

At this level I think it plays a lot different to what you're use to Flushy. People will peel idiot ends of gutshots on a two-flush board OOP, but most players imo will not fire more than one street without a hand @ PLO100 and PLO200, I don't think many players will shove worse on this river at this level, so without notes/history on the player I think it's probably a fold on the river.
