Smooth Call or Push on the Flop?
$25 PLO -- Hero is SB with Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. MP+1 raises to 50 cents. Cutoff, Hero and BB call. All others fold. Pot $2.
Flop Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. Hero bets $1. BB folds. MP+1 raises to $5. Cutoff calls $5. Hero? MP+1, Cutoff, and Hero all begin hand with about $23. My read on MP+1 is middle or small set. Cutoff is unknown, but far behind regardless. Is it better to get all the money in on the flop, or just smooth call and force MP+1 and Cutoff to call a pot sized bet on the turn? Does anyone think both MP+1 and Cutoff would fold on the turn? As it turns out, Hero pushed, both MP+1 and Cutoff called. A runner runner flush by MP+1 won the pot. For the higher limit players, is there a difference in playing this type of hand at $200 PLO and up versus $25 and $50? |
