Title: 50 PLO - Top two trips out of position. How would you play this hand?
Post by: kips on January 20, 2013, 12:54:34 AM
I marked this hand for review whilst I was playing, and I've gone over it a few times and I'm not sure of the best way, so I'm interested in other's thoughts.

I do think I should have 3 bet pre.
I didn't lead with the nuts on the flop as the CO has an extremely high cbet - 90% in position out of 63 hands where he's had the opportunity, so I was looking for a check-raise.    He does play tight pre-flop with at 21/17 and a CO steal of 20.

Do I have to lead the river, following through with my bet call on the turn? Or possibly check-raise the turn?  I'm not sure  he has many KT in his opening range that wouldn't bet the flop.

I always 3bet pre-flop here, but having said this mygeneral approach with dbl-paired hands is more aggressive than most i think, this isn't a bad spot at all to just flat mind but against a single LP opener with a dbl paired combo you could easily call a 4b with and being OOP and just 100bb deep i'd just 3bet every time here.

I would consider leading the flop here as I find people raise your donks into these boards quite a bit and you can pot 3bet and commit yourself, also there is a lot of stuff he'll call that willl check back some. As played it looks ok to me although i think i'd fold the turn as played, and chk/calling the turn and river is a good play as well as he may well vbet worse on at least one of the streets, either seems ok.
