Title: Another $0.50/1 PLO Hand For Discussion
Post by: Sheriff Fatman on August 01, 2010, 11:26:15 PM
Played this hand earlier today and found it very intriguing, particularly after reviewing it again after the session.  It's not so much down to my decisions as I think it's a fairly straightforward play from my point of view (intrigued to hear thoughts if not).  However, I'm more intrigued as to peoples thoughts on what happens behind me, and how you view the hand from each of their perspectives.

Also, in each of their shoes, (1) what range would you need to make their plays?  (2) what do you think they have here?

Stats on each player [VPIP/PFR] included for info, but <30 hands in each case.

Full Tilt Pot-Limit Omaha, $1.00 BB (6 handed) - Full-Tilt Hand Converter from HandHistoryConverter.com

CO ($75.50)  [29/21]
Button ($70.80)  [39/14]
Hero (SB) ($58.40)
BB ($38.85)  [12/6]
UTG ($17.10)  [50/17]
MP ($39.95)  [58/15]

Preflop: Hero is SB with 3s, 6s,  Aspades, Ac
UTG bets $3.50,
MP calls $3.50,
1 fold,
Button raises to $15.50,
Hero raises to $54.50,

Pretty standard from my point of view.  Obviously I think Button most likely has Aces and my concern is that he'll no doubt have better side cards than me.  However, I'm out of position so going to struggle to second guess, hence best play is to get it all in now.  I think there's a lesser chance of seeing KKxx here, in which case we're in good shape.  Presumably no-one folds this.  Anyone like calling here?

Was a bit surprised by this though (perhaps I'm still naive about PLO if this is fairly standard to some of you regulars):
/

1 fold,
UTG calls $13.60 (All-In),
MP calls $36.45 (All-In),
Button raises to $70.80 (All-In),
Hero calls $3.90 (All-In)

People gamble with anything in this spot.

Kind of a weird question dude. The pot is laying everyone a price so I'd expect to see a trash hand, a rundown, pairs etc etc

Don't know why you think button has to have aces to be honest.

He undoubtedly thinks you have to have aces so I'd expect him to show up with a good set of suited connectors or maybe a double pair with some connecting cards. Aces is obviously possible as well but far from definite.

As for the other 2 in the pot well you've only got to look at their vpip and you shouldn't be surprised that they've joined the party.

You're all very shallow and there's 2 clear fish at the table even based on only 30 hands. Expect to see some real trash win this pot.

I hate calling in this spot. Calling with AAxx at PLO should be reserved for when you're playing deep. You'll never know where you are on the flop so just get it in now while you know you're ahead.
