Default Re: PLO 100 - Help! I think I have a extremely big leak here.. (flop p

Check calling is terrible. Simply terrible. Check raising is functionally the same thing due to pot commitment.

Sometimes you have to accept defeat and move on to the next hand. You still have 75BB's behind. Making good folds is so important to successful PLO. Unless the opponent here is a huge donkey its a laydown, pure and simple.

Folding to the reraise is great and I advocate it, but with all due respect WTF are you talking about? Hero started with 95 BB and put in 5 preflop. If he then check/calls 15 BB, he is left with 80 BB on the turn. This is no where near pot committed.

Your 75 BB comment seems to come from the situation in the OP, where the poster certainly should have folded rather than call. Last time I looked that was a bet/call rather than a check/call.
