No reraise by me preflop since I'm out of position and my AAxx isn't coordinated. Is calling the river bet ok? The way the betting pattern on flop and river didn't indicate a made flush, unless it was a small one.

Second hand. With this many people seeing the flop I think my bet was probably not a good move. If I check then I pretty much have to fold to any action. If my flop bet got called in 2+ spots then I was done with the hand barring an A or J falling on the turn.
If I got called in one spot then I'd probably pull the trigger again on the turn.
Villains collectively are good enough to recognise that I could be raising preflop with a hand like 789T.

Preflop is standard. No point telling everyone what your hand is OOP unless you can get a bigger chunk of your stack in.

With this many players taking the flop, I think you have to assume there's a strong possiblity of a made flush being out there. Flop call is grand as you have odds to the nut house.

MP2 has about $20 left after his river bet so you can't put him off a possible small flush. It's probably either a value bet with the King high flush or a small bet with a small flush depending on how good/bad a player he is. Turn may have been a failed attempt at the check-raise from him. With a pot that size, I probably call here but I pay off too many value bets.

Decent enough reasoning there but I don't like a continuation bet OOP in to that many players in PLO. It's a good idea to do it now and again but it will cost you money if you do it consistently. I think firing the second barrel on the turn would often be a mistake even when you only get one caller.

I fold the first hand. He has a baby flush. I check-fold the flop in the second one unless I've really been running over the table.

But then I thought you were weak-tight.

Generally I am, but sometimes I get a fit of the gambools and LAG it up.
In the first hand is was probably the check through on the turn that made me call the river. Had Villain potted the river I'd have folded but the size of his bet lured me into calling.
I have to call $16 to win $61 and when you include the chances that Villain could be bluffing or betting a hand like a set of tens or eights, then it's not a terribly bad call. Probably not a long term winning call though.

Villain turned over 4 pair, AT53 with not clubs and my hand was good.


In the second hand, if I check the flop and somebody bets then I have to fold. I can't call looking for runner-runner. If the SB, me and the CO all check to the button he can bet top two pair, a double suited gutshot or any 4 cards really. By betting the flop I find out if anyone has a legit hand, and it also makes the hand very easy to get away from compared to the flop being checked around and having to decide what to do on the turn.

I'm probably being a bit results-orientated since they all folded, tbh my flop bet could be seen as a bit weak since it's not full pot, a good opponent could have raised on a bluff.
