Hero ?

pf is arguable but probably ok if player4 sucks.
postflop I play it the same and prolly muck riv, I think ppl do bet sets and possibly 2pr on the turn.
I dont expect a random to bluff that river very often at all but I could be wrong.

I actually folded thinking it's a decision between him showing up with a few hands that he reps vs him making oop two barrel spazz at 3way flop weakness in rr pot. While reviewing the session, I just couldn't believe I folded putting him on QQxx or QJ that I wasn't even certain if he bets on the turn. But you saying he's betting it, makes me feel better about folding.

Do you agree with him being polarised to houses and bluffs on the river? Do you think I ever get a shown a nut flush there? I think it'd be a little silly to pot a hand like that while hoping to get called by worse flushes.

nah I really dont expect to see flushes at all either. I think its polarized to boats and bluffs too.

meh the more I think about it the more I want to call lol esp w a J in our hand
its basically QQxx or nuthin
im too tired I'll think about it tomorrow with a rested mind : )

i never 3bet a hand like this preflop, which is just me but i'm still learning new stuff about PLO everyday

I think pre is a bit too marginal/aggressive, I'd rather fold. I think your flop and turn play is fine. On the turn he can definetly be betting two pairs and sets, otherwise I agree that you should be calling the river. As played I think it's a close spot with the blocker and this is where player reads come into play. Presumably Player5 is a weak player and whether or not I call here would depend on my impression of how he plays and reads I have on him.
To be honest I think that when you factor in the way a lot of weaker players play, I don't hate a river call, particularly with our blocker. He could easily never have a boat here in which case his range is close to 100% air.
