279BB deep 10/25 hand

[stigmata]

Are other people defending their blind with Hero's hand? I know you have to defend pretty liberally to stop getting runover, and that you can defend pretty liberally because of the low preflop equity of any hand over another. Hero's hand is probably on my lower range of defending hands. Is this about right?

I'd be really interested to hear others' opinions on this. My hand doesn't have a ton of nut potential, and could end up costing me a lot of money OOP. But how much do you compensate for the short-handedness?

Horrible play by villain. Most of the times he shouldnt even be betting the flop and he should definitely lay down after your raise on the flop.

In your spot, had you only had the lone Kc: You can try to bluff raise it, and even though it wouldnt have worked with this [censored] villain, it will work some time. Remember though, that also sets will call you (and thus win the pot).

Villain should have gotten away from his hand on the flop. I can understand him calling if he had AA in with this hand, but otherwise it should be folded on the flop. Some players just arent capable of making this laydown, even in PLO.

As far as learning PLO, which, I still am, I'll let you know when I get there.

I could not imagine stacking myself in this spot as the villain did....

Nice hand.

First, let me say that betting the flop is not horrible by the villain. He's OOP. He has to throw a line out there sometime.

Second, what's this line about "sets will call you (and thus win the pot)"

>>>???

I think it was refering to a naked K bluff, which the Villian must have been hoping for. Or, he was just a maniac....

checking this flop with the second nut flush is SUBSTANTIALLY better if he's going to stack off when he bets it.

EDIT


Betting w/ the intention of folding to a raise.


(i thought that was implied and/or given)
