Our hand looks SO pretty, but with 3 opponents and this board, we are more than likely up against some combinations of the current nut straight, the nut flush draw, and a set. So we could well be looking at having just the two straight flush outs. I don't know what other card i would want to see on the turn, except maybe another jack, but even if one does come, our opponents are unlikely to put any more money in with worse hands or draws.

How many opponents would we want to be up against to continue with this hand? Could we ever get it in as a favourite?


Although i haven't played much live PLO so my assumptions of peoples holdings may be too tight. Enjoying this thread by the way!

I folded but only regretted not folding to the first bet... As it turns out I was up against top set and the nfd/2pair it ended up bricking out, so I would have won. I usually would never call the raise unless I had specific reads on both players.

But wanted some feedback based on my stack size and the fact I was joining a game that had been running all night..

I guess as the session get's longer, and stacks get deeper, pre-flop ranges become wider, but people's willingness to get it in post flop tends towards a nutted / nut combo draw range.

They may be more willing to CALL down with marginal holdings, putting you on the draws, but less willing to be putting the raises in with hands that you dominate.

I think if you were a short stack looking to gamble you could get it in, but with any kind of normal/deep stack it's a fold. And from what i've read of your posts, short stacking doesn't seem your style!
