i didn't hear what you said, but why did you fold kkJx there?

I mean, it's not a huge deal whether you call or fold - but at the time I was hoping to establish a tight image as I talked about a lot. The thing about crappy KK OOP is against an aggro opponent, you have to both set mine AND play back sometimes without a good hand. set mining itself isn't profitable. and since i didn't want to play back at all in the moment given what i was trying to do, i wasn't trying to get myself in marginal situations OOP. There are many profitable spots vs. aggro opponents (thin value type spots), so it's good to recognize where the value is and play to that. PLO is about putting yourself in good situations much more than anything else, and calling with this hand OOP is not really ever going to have you end up in an amazing situaiton unless you overset him, which is extremely rare.

How can you fold KKJ4r in the BB here? You called the exact same hand (ok maybe it was KKJ2r) like 3 minutes ago, in the exact same situation!

I answered about my thoughts on KK in the previous post, but I just wanted to point out - preflop standards are far from static in HU, and especially in HU PLO. You have to think about what your game plan is, which changes according to what you figure out about your opponent (in this case it increasingly became establish a tight image and have him not adjust his play and win the big pots with well-timed moves). For that game plan, I didn't think KK OOP was terribly profitable.

It seems like this is a pretty easy fold given the flow of the match and probably a fold in a vacuum. It seems like when you bet call the turn a lot of your range is wraps/straight draws, overpairs and maybe like pair + FD. Given that the river completes a lot of your straight draws + the fact that he can't rep much makes me thing kings up is almost never good here.

Seems like an easy fold on turn. I remember him betting small on turn in a previous hand but forget what he had. I would assume he had you beat then too. I guess not an easy fold cause you are getting a good price. It feels dirty to fold but equally dirty to call and fold or call river.

Hey Vanessa,

http://www.deucescracked.com/videos/1258-Vanessa-Selbst-4-2-4-HU-PLO?seek=259

you say it's unlikely he has aces up. is that because he shouldn't ever expect you to chk back flop, call turn (whether its 3/4 pot to full pot) with anything worse than aces up?
