Title: Line Check PLO
Post by: SuuPRlim on September 19, 2010, 03:35:56 AM
What would be everyone's "standard line" in a spot like this.

you open  Kc Qc 9d 9h playing 250bb's deep in MP over an UTG raise. to 4bb

BB (100bb's) + UTG (200bbs) call

flop  Qh 7c 6c

POT:- 12.5bb

Check. Check

???

I bet 10bbs because we have a top matcher and 4 puppy feet

I actually think I check-back in this spot because I would hate getting check-raised here.

I bet about 3/4 of the pot and call any re-raise, we can re-evaluate on the turn depending which card comes especially if its a scare card.

The reason is that we can easily be check raised by Ac-Qx-Xc hands here that have us crushed but also T-9-8 w/club (or without) hands that we have crushed as well as sets or AAxx with nut clubs. The nines are good straight blockers here which mean I much happier to play a small pot than a huge pot when I don't have any nut outs.

All the time, 2/3rds pot. Gotta give yourself a chance to win it there and then FFS, checking is way too weak.........

For guys who say Bet, are we folding to a c/r, calling a c/r or 3betting a c/r?

For those who say check - what do we do on a) blank turns. b) club turns. c) non club 5/8/9 turns?

If you're betting here, are you bet folding or bet calling? And more importantly why? I've not heard a single good argument.

Probably betting most turns if it's checked to me tbh, deffo clubs or 5 8 or 9

I check back flop as you pretty much have to pass if check-raised as we are fairly deep.  I bet all turns if checked around again.

Because to win be a long term winner in PLO you have to pick up lots of small pots like this. You have to a least try and pick it up and the odds dictate you probably will enough of the time to make it +EV. If we get raised no problem we can fold..........

But we have a medium strength hand, probably the best hand but it cannot withstand a check-raise in this spot, especially since we have a pair within our hand which also acts as blockers to a combi-draw which would (if the Ac is not in their hand) be one of the few things to c/r us that we would beat, albeit marginally. We can bet any turn if it's checked to us a second time anyway.

Win small pots, sure whatever, but this is not a bet/fold or bet/call spot imo, therefore checking behind is fine.

I don't agree obv, you clearly play a lot tighter than me and that is probably the difference. I'm going to be taking my chances to pinch as many pots as possible given the chance.......

by checking back, are we planning on folding on any turns?
