this is why i hate potting oop all the time. u try to protect your hand/get max fe and it just ends up pricing your opponent in calling whatever garbage two pair he has and you going with your missed draw 1 pair hand

i would checkraise the flop
if he checked flop back i lead turn for pot and allin river

I hate the river shove. What exactly are you trying to bluff? You have basically every draw that didn't hit, and look how light he looked you up. Checkraise this flop! At first glance, I thought villain played this hand silly, but I think he has to play the hand the way he did--he could shove the turn though. If you can't even bluff him off of that hand, why even shove?

flop is an easy c/r and then you can shove turn and be done with it.

ya i slept on it and agree
ez chkpot and drill

Im probably going to get flamed for this but Im gonna ask anyway as I am a total noob to PLO and have no clue

Why would you check raise the flop here and ship any turn with only a draw? I mean, would you take this line in hold'em with only a draw? It would be super-retarded to take this line with only a draw in hold'em, why ship it in here?

I hate the preflop. Just flat, or be veryveryvery aggressive and 5bet etc and felt any plausible flop (much rather just flat since you're oop and your hand isn't that strong and you don't want to bloat the pot oop.). The line you took preflop is not good, why has nobody pointed this out yet?

thanks for the read guys, hu plo is hard to adjust for me, will probably restart in plo tourney.
it s fk retarded to spew so much
tourney are much more fun , heads cash up was only a mix of loosing streak or break even session for me..
keep posting in the plo section..

tx and gl

i think preflop is horrible, min 3 betting is even more retarted than in holdem..

After flop... yeah c/r pot pot.

In this case I don't think he's folding (maybe he should..) but you were still monster in front.

Because you have the nut draws, and often your opponents are holding draws, which are much more common in omaha than in holdem.

Draws and weak hands will very often fold the turn.
If you're called you still have good equity.

Often villain will b/f flop or fold turn. When you're called you still have equity.

I like a check-raise flop more than leading here.

wtf are you doing preflop

i don't think there is anything wrong with min3betting OOP in PLO
in fact I think it's great. what's wrong with doing so?

it bloats the pot and your playing a bigger pot oop?

you raise because your hand is likely so much better than theirs that there is value in bloating the pot despite being OOP
are you suggesting that you only flat call with your entire range? never 3bet?

i would like the ask the same question, wtf is going on pre.

pre is fine and works great with some mixing up of hands imo
on hand
i prefer ch ca flop > ch r > lead since we r deep... if ch ca and tu villain bets again i fold, ch r tu bet close 2 pot
