Re: here\'s a tricky situation from 5/5 PLO
I don't think folding on the turn is a bad idea at all. Sure we can have some sort of academic debate about position and bluffing equity, etc. but it comes down to a fairly simple problem.
You have the nuts with no redraws, your opponent also holds the nuts with anywhere from 0 to double digit out redraws. Every dollar you put into the pot from here on out is a bet to get your money returned to you.
This is analagous to folding KKQQ to a pot sized bet on the turn on the board 348K in PLO/8.
The decision to call or fold should be a sheer math question, the more money left to bet the easier the fold becomes. Easy fold in summary.
Can't wait for Pete to call me weak-tight for this one, but then again he folds JJ87 to a limp. . .
