Disagree on this being a "pretty strong hand". I think this should be a fold, and you should certainly fold it once you get 3bet.

I mean you get one of your best flops and it's still a very difficult hand to play.

Finally canadian PLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not really, the flop was pretty easy to play. Unfortunately in PLO sets are kind of weak when there is a 3 straight on the board, this doesn't really say anything about the quality of my hand though. I think you ar vastly underestimating the importance of double suitededness here when the pot is HU.

You said you also donk weak hands like J9 here, I agree with that and do that myself aswell quite often. So let's assume you have J9 here, maybe make the T a 9. What's your line gonna be after you donk the turn and get called and the board runs out just like it did now?

Probably bet turn again for value

I like it, especially the part about the double edged sword of blockers. Thinking about what hands you could be bluffing with on the river.

What would you do if the river brought an ace? Would you ship the riv since your hand is obvious from the turn as you said or would you hope for him to turn whatever hand he has into a bluff?
What about a j, 9 or 8 on the riv?

I meant not only the flop, but rather the whole hand.

And obviously you are ignoring all the possible worse flops. It does say quite a lot about the quality of your hand, if the best you can flop is middle set or an open-ended straight draw and/or a weak flush draw.

Not sure, how you can be confident, that it will be HU when you open this from middle position. And while two suits are nice, you don't really fist-pump if you get it in with a J high flush draw.

With this hand, you flop better than 50% equity only 25% of the time against AA (35% of the time against a top 10%-range). And it will be not that easy to realize any equity while being OOP.

You are definitely making some good points, few counters tho:

Regarding the multi way thing, I meant when I called the 3b.

Re: the numbers you quoted. that doesn't seem so bad to me. We can bluff sometimes profitably, we are not just straight playing our equity. Also, this might be splitting hairs, but it makes a difference- If my opponent 3bets me there 15% of the time, it is rarely with a fluid 15% of hands (it is not the top 15% straight through.). He probably 3bets something like... top 5% always, 6-10% sometimes, 11-15% sometimes, etc. So when I plug in a range of something like 5%, 11-19% on ppt, my equity goes up a decent amount.

And what you said about the double suitedness, no of course,I am not just snap jamming w/ a FD, but I am not ever really c/f if I flop a draw.

Awesome stuff. Ansky can you review any of your PLO MTT content success? Would make a good series and you have crushed them recently

great.. finally a new plo video.. can we have some liveplay again soon?

Thanks for your answer.

Good luck with that against this player

Is there any validity to a c/c OTR?

There aren't really many hands that he will call that he wouldn't value bet aside from his bluffs. However, given the obv. busted flush draws and the river running out really gross for KQ, QT and KT and villain taking the initiative OTT do you think he bluffs here often enough to make c/c better than leading?
