5Card PLO!
«
on:
August 29, 2013, 10:58:57 AM »
With all these live multi-O hands knocking about I thought I'd post one that genuinely had me not knowing what to do...
£2/£2 £4 straddle.
2 Limps from very passive players, a very splashly chinese player makes it £15, George Wainberg calls in the SB.
I'm in the BB with
and squeeze to £60. Chinese player and GW both call.
Chinese guy playing £800, George £1400, I cover.
Flop (£192)
Geroge leads for £100.
I think we're gonna have to formulate a few plans here as best to proceed here - interesting to know what everyone would do.
For those of you who don't know George he is proper old-school legend of live poker, I've been playing with him for years and his strategy vs me is super TAG, he never gets involved marginally but when he does he's usually giving me the barrels or has a sick hand.
I thought about calling and raising some turn cards (as a (semi?) bluff) calling and trying to showdown, calling and trying to hit a good turn/fold if not, just folding now, raising to £240 here and just hope that buys me a free turn/river.
George knows I wouldn't raise hardly ever with a good+ hand here OTF as I'd be trying to keep the chinese guy in, I'm a lot less concerned about protecting my equity in spots like this than most players in live games and am mainly focused on maximizing my value and George is well aware of this.

Are you saying that he never - or almost never - has 6-6 here, & is, correctly, (because it is vulnerable), protecting it?
Surely he is not betting some sort of 3-4-7-8-9 type hand on that flop?

Defo not saying that. He could have flopped 56 or 66 and be betting for value, he could have some wrap and FD hand with a 6 or something and be going for a little steal, makes my life quite hard sandwiched between the two of them.

As descibed I feel our only option is to call and reassess turn. If we raise, get a fold from the asian guy then get 3b we are abs hating life. Folding now would be a little absurd I feel.
GW doesn't sound like a guy who'd lead a non nutted draw here. Very very difficult for him to have a 56xxx hand. Tricky spot

GW got moves don't you worry. See's all the angles, perfectly capable of taking them even if he doesn't very often.
What kind of reassessment are we thinking for the turn?
A club that he bets again on will be pretty interesting. 9 the best card, K the next best, the A. What about J's/4's/7's etc?

If u call here , 75% turn card going to be a brick or maybe u going to hit ur flush ? I would rather raise fold the flop and go to the turn . GW defo betting 56 or 66 . I don't think GW will bet a bare 5 !!

Flat pre.
Call on the flop i think. Seems pretty dirty though. I cant see how a fold is that bad.

So you don't think he has a bare 5.
You think he has a full house to lead.
You raise the flop.
I don't get it.

yes I realised that.
You still said what you thought his leading range was yet what you'd do against it made no sense to me.
