std fold????


dont think i could have smashed the flop any harder

You didnt smash the flop as hard as you think you only have bottom set and if any low card comes you will probably get half if he stays in and there are flush draws and all of that I would have c/c the turn and c/c river if it was an ok card the river I a fold.

you can reasonably go into hard potcontrolmode on the turn, calling to chop is how you lose money

You hit the flop good, but u have no low draw, and this is a disastrous turn and river. In PLO8, I would keep the pot small with bottom set, no redraw....think that's where we went wrong here. Then u can value turn, then check fold or bet fold river. Lose less chips when we're behind / and can feel ok about calling or folding for 1/2 of small pot at best.

Let's not forget, as played, u set it up on a tee for him to smash any 4 on the river (however unlikely). If I'm playing u here, and I have a shit low, I'm gonna smash this river all day when checked to me, thinking there is no way a set can call, and if u do, Im getting half.

As played lead river, fold to a raise, cuz if he can raise, you can't beat his high.

heh, yeah defenitly

very fun game I have to admit, wish they ran more mtt's for it tbh

I think the c/r raise on the flop is bad. I play for pot control on that flop. If the turn is a blank (a high non-heart) I then try to build the pot.

As played, check the turn and fold the river. Villain likely thinks you have either the nut flush draw or a set on the flop and they beat both now.

One way hands in PLO and PLO8 are going to cost you. You are most likely going to get called by hands with big re-draws and you're stuck with what you flopped. Pot control and being able to lay down hands is huge in these games. Being able to read boards and opponent's hands are two skills you need to play these games.
