Re: Trying to learn PLO
Hi sherbet,
Thank you for the reply. Yes, you're right, that one has to make do with the cards one is dealt. I guess right now I'm at the point of maybe playing a little too tight, as I am still practically using training wheels. I like to have an idea of what I want to flop with a hand, and with KKT8 3-flush, I'm kinda stuck looking for a K-high flop, or QJ.
I would figure I'm facing AA with this reraise, which means a 50% chance he has the Ace of my suit and a fair chance that it's suited. So my K-high flush really doesn't look very profitable. At best, I'd have to play it defensively, because if I get a lot of action on it, it's unlikely to be good.
So the only really big pot hands I can hope to flop are K-high, or a K-high straight vs. someone else's Q- or J-high straight. And given the pre-flop action, I don't have the option of playing a small pot.
Again, though, I'm very new to the game so that probably explains why I'd be so reluctant to make that pre-flop call.
