Default Re: PLO8 noob -- how\'s my line?

I'm with JM here, I really don't like the river bet.

My question is this: What could he be playing that
1) Will call a pot bet on the turn
2) Will not call a river bet getting very good odds
3) That you beat?

A bluff is only a bluff if you can get better hands to fold. I really don’t see that happening here.

Now lets classify your opponents hands:
1) He has you beat badly: Either way you are going to lose your stack:
2) He is unsure about his hand (ex QK): I don’t see him folding to a bet but I can see him checking the best hand behind you.
3) He is on a busted draw: I can’t see him calling a bet but I can see him trying to bluff into you with a worse hand.

For 1 it doesn’t matter if you bet or check but checking will be +EV for either 2 or 3.

I like the rest of the streets.
