$5/$10 How to get most value

    $5/$10 PLO on Boss

    Only two players in the hand, myself and villain obv

    Stacks $1,500

    I'm UTG+1 and he's on the button, i have been playing quite LAG and my image would be so, I raise to $30 with Ac10c8h9h , he re-raises to $90 and the rest of the table fold and I call.

    Flop ($180) - KcQcJc - I flop the Royal flush

    Action is on me - Question 1) How in the heck do I play this?

    i check, he checks behind and the turn comes the 7s

    Action on me again - Question 2) What to do now?

    i have a feeling that i fcuked this hand up royally!

    anyway, cheers for any responses

    Unless he makes a full house your going to do well to get much out of it. What sort of player is the button on this hand? Do you think you can get him to take a shot at you if you bet the turn. I hope you managed to get paid off a little bit with this sick to get nothing out of a royal!

    Pot the flop, smooth call a re-raise and pray that the board pairs?

    As played pot the turn. There's a helluva lotta money behind and you wanna get as much of it in the middle as possible.

    I dont think it matters how you play this. Unless he has flopped a set I doubt you are getting paid at any stage in the hand. He should never pay you with a 9 high flush or a straight so you really need the board to pair on the turn. It hasnt so I dont mind a half pot bet anymore than i mind checking to see if he can catch up something on the river.

    Just make sure you take a screen shot of the hand to use as a wallpaper on your laptop.

    i dont play omaha but from a general perspective I like a lead on the flop

    I would bet the flop. Now you've checked the flop, I'd check the turn again and hope to checkraise.

    Do you have any history between yourself and the villain, or any reads?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,881 ✭✭✭bohsman


    You should have flopped a straight flush with the 8h9h instead, wouldve been much easier to get paid off, its an action killer flop, hope the board pairs or he takes a pop at it.

    I think leading the flop here is your best bet.

    Reg, do you not know how i play online poker?

    no reads! little history bar that he has been loose and aggressive pre flop and he then either shuts down or plays v aggressively post flop

    as you all said i think i maybe should have led the flop, however once i've done that i decided to check the turn as well hoping for the check-raise

    unfortunately he checked behind again!

    the river came the 2d, i bet the pot and he called, he mucked and unfortunately you can't find out what he called with on boss (would really suck if he had KKK)

    any ideas what he called with?

    Theres a very good chance you got maximum value out of it, I cant see him calling a second pot bet when the nuts dont change.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,434 ✭✭✭cardshark202


    Yeah not much more you could have done then


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,083 ✭✭✭RoundTower


    I bet the flop, I often get 2 streets out of KK or 3 streets out of a baby flush if I have an aggro image here.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,881 ✭✭✭bohsman


    Surely KK or a baby flush take a stab at the pot at some point.
