Two hands.

Postby Hofstra » Tue Mar 15, 2005 10:56 am

$50 PLO on UB. Opponent sat down 2 orbits ago and immediately lost 2/3 of his stack by overplaying 2 pr. He plays many hands and only looks at his own cards. He will not bluff, just calls or bets when he likes his hand. Seemed like a good target to me, but this caused a losing session.

Hand 1:
I have [Ac][Kh][Tc][6h] in LP. Opponent (now in EP) raises the max and I call, together with one other guy, who usually plays weak-tight.

Flop: [Qc][Qd][Th].

Both check to me. Since my read is that my opponent bets when he likes his hand, I bet the pot, attempting to steal it. Opponent calls.

Turn is [Jc].

My opponent checks, I check, since I don't think I can make him fold.

River: [4c].

So now I have the nut flush, and my opponent bets $8 in a $25 pot. Do you call? I did, hoping to catch him with a straight, but he had quad Qs.

Hand 2:
I'm in EP with [Ad][Ah][Th][7c]. I raise the max, and get two callers, among which the opponent in LP. His stack is $40, min is $60.

Flop: [As][7d][6s].

I bet the pot, opponent calls (other caller folds). At this point I put him on a big draw.

Turn: [Jd].

I decided to bet the pot again ($25). Opponent calls and is virtually allin.

River:[5s].

Check-check.
No surprise that I lost the hand. But it was a surprise how: my opponent had 3455, no spades.

Anyone try to play a smaller pot here, since there are so many cards that ruin your hand? If you're up against a player who has a big double suited wrap then you're an underdog here.
