Top Set - straight possible

Hey JonikoP

Any info on others in the hand? Your own thought processes? Questions what are you looking to get out of the hand evaluation? It's difficult to give any feedback without as much info as possible

Now for my fishy opinion ♦

Surely the straight would have raised on the turn? I'm probably check calling the river giving draws the chance to bluff and not being too upset if they check behind

Bet pot preflop for value.

Definitely c-bet F, you block the NFD, so it will be hard for the opponents to call you down 3 streets. Also if you get raised on the F, it's an easy fold for you as you'll most likely be up against a set (I don't think that a 2nd NFD + pair or something similar will raise you here).

As played, c/r R to induce a bluff is great vs an agressive opponent. Vs passive one I'd bet R.

Preflop I like. You're disguising the fact you have aces by not pot raising preflop and it looks like some kind of rundown from the small blind which is a good thing.

Great flop check, no reason to bet this wet flop where you would have to fold to a raise.

Turn there is definite value in betting here and I like the big bet. However when the river blanks it's hard to make money at this point.

QQ/55/33/Q5/Q3 all would have bet the flop, even AQ would bet this flop, so there aren't any hands at all that pay you off pretty much.

Your best chance is to check/call this river and hope someone bluffs at it. Checkraising I don't see anyone other than 99 paying you off and I don't understand how that hand calls the turn bet.

It's PLO10, do you really think that people think on that level? Fish won't know a difference if you pot raise or not here. Ever.

Also on the river, even if he only calls you with 99xx it's +EV. He just won't have 24xx here...

Thanks for the comments guys. A lot of my hands are Zoom and played on ipad/mobile so I don't benefit from a HUD or any notes.

The reason for posting was primarily to get views on the river line - i.e. do we need to worry about a seemingly unlikely 24xx in spots like this where it is hard to think of many hands that we get value from. I tanked for a while before deciding to c/r the river rather than c/c the river. I thought 99xx was his most likely holding and 24xx was highly unlikely.

He just won't have 24xx here...

Actually, this is exactly what he showed up with. I thought it was highly unlikely as well.

You made a huge assumption that everyone at PLO10 is a fish. Since the person posting the hand plays at PLO10 is he a fish as well?

Stop assuming things and you will start to improve as a player.

Well, you are also therefore assuming that they will put you on AA** every time you isolate someone from SB and bet pot? That doesn't seem very likely. And even if they would you could exploit that. I think we're just losing value by picking fancy stack sizes here.

pot pre. cbet flop. turn fine. bf river.

Bet/folding the river is a terrible line because villain either has a busted draw or the nuts.

A worse hand isn't callng the river because the flop was checked around. Villain doesn't have a set or even 2 pair. There are way more busted draws in villains range than anything else. I much prefer a check to let him bluff.
