Are the small card rundowns in your 4betting range in IP aswell ? Or would a hand like J976ds well enough IP in this spot. Probably no point in 4betting because you are not trying to knock no one out cause you are in IP.

4bet/folding premium hands feels really dirty to me. Lots of equity stolen from us. I suck at math how much equity do we need when he 5bets us ? Vs these crappy aces we have close to 40%.

How about the times your opponent flats your four bet and the board comes down AIDS for double suited aces? What S to P ratio are we looking at where a we flat the four bet and check/fold the flop? I can't think of too many. What about a min-5 bet? Or is that completely ridiculous? I guess I just don't feel comfortable flatting that four bet with premium aces because I am a PLO fish and post flop decisions are scary.

Cool hand, thanks for sharing.

This is an example of one of the cool spots that happens in PLO when stacks get deeper. As the four-betting dynamic develops between two players, it becomes a game of "do you 4b wider than AAxx or not".

I agree with your analysis about his four-bet call being a good play. A similar situation occurs when stacks are deeper, and we 3b AAxx, and get 4b by a player who very likely has AAxx himself. Instead of putting all of the money in preflop and letting fate decide whether we chop, the better play is often to call IP and try to make the opponent fold AAxx. The best boards to do this on are monotone boards and paired boards, typically.

Are you ever 4betting your rundowns? If so, wouldn't it be valid for him to 5! this hand in order to get you to fold those rundowns also assuming you'll stack off with a range he dominates (broadway rundowns)


I'm fairly new to PLO so please excuse me if I'm really off base

I think his play is only good v a aggro, smart, reg. Other wise most people are just going to call the BB 5 bet too often.
