Omaha River Decision

<< < (2/3) > >>

dwh103:
Yeah, that doesn"t really help a great deal. I"d assume he"s weak/passive from that and has some kind of draw, maybe 1 pair + tenuous draw like KQJx. Either way, he never puts any pressure on you, so that would make me a little wary when he starts putting chips in during the second hand.

Really not much to go on, but nothing here would make me change my decision.

Cheers Dave.. be interesting to see what others think. Definitely should of bet the flop, nitty play on my part really didn"t want to be put into a position for his stack, which was stupid as that"s what ended up happening anyway. He did play this one totally differently though which set off the alarm bells.

I presume that the lack of a turn card means its the A of D....

therefore shove his sorry ar$e and lick you wounds after

I def think we can c/ back flop a good % of the time here.  We dnt really wana be b/f here on this wet board, and we can use some pot control and call down on favourable run-downs/when we get there.  Even more likely to check if we have a bdfd to go with it.  

AMRN:
In the second hand, what are you trying to achieve with the 3b pre? By making it a small 3b and not potting it, you are nailed on to get called by the original raiser - hence all you are doing is inflating the pot.  Now consider that as you are SB, you are out of position post flop in a bloated pot. Other than on a Axx rainbow flop, how many times are you actually going to feel comfortable playing AA34 out of position post flop?

In my opinion, you are way too deep to be 3betting from the blinds with pretty much any hand - for me it"s a flat call, and play a smaller pot oop on the flop, and am ready to check/fold most flops.  

My rule of thumb for 3betting from the blinds in PLO is that I only tend to do it if I can commit my stack - ie get half of it in pre.  Raisers rarely fold to a 3b in PLO if they have position - hence your 3b in this spot only makes the hand more difficult for you to play further down the streets.

Cheers Steve. The 2nd hand (which was actually a few hands before the one I wanted advice on.. just posted as requested by Dave) I would normally just flat pre OOP with bare Aces, but have a nut flush draw as well to go with it, was therefore happy to bump it up a little. You saying you never raise in the blinds when you"re deep? Understand about wanting to get it all in pre with Aces if you"re shallow, remember reading a whole chapter on that once where the ploy was basically buy in for the min, wait for aces and try and get it all in pre.

Any thoughts on the first hand?
