Villain is a really solid Reg at these stakes and we have a reasonable amount of history from playing HU, although havent played heads up for about 8-12 months

lildavefish ? ? ?

Have 3400 hands of 6max on him and his 3bet from the blinds % is 4 so his range is tight for sure - but he knows how loose I open the btn/co.

Thoughts on River, and thoughts on all streets?

Meh, super close spot. I wanna call 'cos he can be completely FOS but I also wanna fold 'cos your hand looks a lot like a medium strength hand that didn't wanna get c/red off on the turn and is gunna snap the river.

You have blockers to KQJx type hands aswell so its harder for him to have bluffs, I dunno I probably just fold

Would have def c/red the flop though fwiw

call

fold

Do you think he is more likely to have AAxx or hearts if he is beating me?

I would definitely c/c flop. You can't cr/jam vs someone who 3bs this infrequently and you just need this hand in your c/c range. River you can probably check jam anything that is a set or worse and just call all your small flushes and jam Jx+flushes. 89xx 45xx/nut low flushes are interesting, if he never bets AAxx on the river and checks back the turn with a lot of medium flushes then you want to be folding or shoving but if he can vbet worse and doenst have many flushes in his range and a bunch of air then call will be better.

re-read HH.

this is geniuinely tough, depends if he thinks we can reach the river with a high flush.

Read it fine the first time?? If we can't reach the river with a high flush we're doing something seriously wrong but yeah you're right it depends what he thinks obviously.

From his line I think aaxx with hearts is possible and he is looking at feigning weekness to get you to commit more chips when he has a lock

PLO is a silly, silly game

Oh god I agree. I think I just threw up in my mouth.

+1

In your opinions, how standard is it for someone to Vbet AAxx naked here? I think it's safe to say he'd never expect me to fold any flush vs him here, but then the amount of smaller heart combo's I can have are limited, so it's quite possible he's betting for value vs a medium/high strength flopped hand.

AAxx is exactly the same hand as  small flush relative, and - like you say - if he doesn't think I have many high flushes then he could easily Vbet AA, or a small flush, or even 89.

I dont think he makes this bet ever for anything but value, unless he has maybe ATxx with Ahearts and is turnign his hand into a bluff somehow or attempting a crazxy merge cos he knows im a bit of a sheriff in these spots. So surely this rules a call out as I cant really beat anythign in his value range,

JAM or FOLD ?

all your beating is a bluff its an easy fold IMHO

sorry
dumb momeny

Jam ever?

I never jam a set on a flushed board river in plo, player dependant I will sometimes call, but here I can't see him folding better hands than yours, so your jamming to fold a bluff

I mean it's not definitely either a jam or a fold you just need to work out how you want to play vs this villain and why. I think it is perfectly reasonable to call with 0 hands in this spot on the river but it doesn't necessarily mean it's the best strategy to exploit this villain. Some players never have a bluffing range in certain spots, I try to have a bluffing range for every spot for better or worse, a set is fairly near the bottom of my range here (and it is behind all his value range which you mention) so I would usually bluff with it (ie crai).

If he's bet calling 89 or AA then we DEFO shouldn't be Jamming! It would ofc be as a bluff if we were to shove.
