Default PLO8 $100 hand

Sorry no hand history here at work, but here are the details.

I am OTB with AKKJds and $120. MP ($80) limps, CO ($15) raises to $4, I call, BB ($100) calls, MP calls.

The flop is AJ9 with two [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img](not one of my suits).

BB checks, MP checks, CO goes all-in for ~$10, I raise to $25, MP smooth calls.

The turn is an offsuit T. MP checks, I check.

River is the K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] MP checks, I bet $40 hoping to bluff a baby-flush or straight out of the sidepot.

What do you think of my line? I am particularly interested in thoughts on my turn check and river bluff.

edit-- CO was a total sucker in case anyone is wondering about my flop raise.

Looks fine to me. Feels like MP is checking a straight. If he calls at least you have several outs to still pick up the pot.

After the river you have outs? Suspect you did not
read the post correctly.

The play is high read/experience dependant. Will it
work often enough to be +EV in the long run is all
you care about, I don't have enough info to make
a judgment.

The absolute most important thing to note about this hand. On the flop you are playing a 2 card hand in a 4 card hand game. I would not be aggressive at all with is. However if I had AQJT then I would happily go to war.

What about betting the turn It seems to me at this point he either has a a flush draw or has made his straight.

I would think he would be more likely to lay down a baby flush draw, than he would a baby flush.

Thoughts?

I agree with you, and normally I wouldn't get frisky with this hand, but I wanted to isolate the all-in shortstack, who was bad enough to make this play with nothing but a back-door low draw (which is in-fact what he had along with a 6-high flush draw). I figured that my hand was very likely good against him, and I thought everyone would fold to my raise. I was genuinely surprised when I was called.
