Hi, opponent unknown

Usually a flush card is good to barrel, but in this spot I think that if I bet turn I must follow on the river, because there are sets included in his flop calling range, Would you do this or just give up? also, he has FD's in his flop range, so I could be running a big bluff into a flush that would not fold a lot of the times.

Thanks!

Poker Stars, $0.25/$0.50 Pot Limit Omaha Cash, 6 Players

BB: $73.88 (147.8 bb)
Hero (UTG): $65.03 (130.1 bb)

SB: $51.98 (104 bb)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with Q♣ A♣ J♠ 4♠
Hero raises to $2, MP folds, CO calls $2, BTN calls $2, 2 folds

Flop: ($7) J♥ K♠ Q♥ (3 players)
Hero bets $5.25, CO folds, BTN calls $5.25

Turn: ($17.50) 2♥ (2 players)
Hero?

Hi dylboi

My flop cbet is 73, too much?

And is not that I like to bluff lol, well honestly yes, I'm starting to play at PLO50, but in PLO25 almost everybody calls with weak hands on flop and folds a lot on further streets, so it is profitable to bet often in that stake, and well, I think that became an habit :f_p:

Regards

Hi,

how are you playing vs only unknowns always? :)

It is an akward bet spot, but betting here is definetly not bad or anything. It would be my default play. Yes he can have sets in his range with fd's but he's more likely to have 2 pair imo which you are getting to fold.

Your assumptions are ok tough. This is a specific flop and turn where just a c/f might be the best and simpler play.

i would always bet the turn to be honest. why is this a specific spot here?

because he will call sets ott and he could have a flush too? so do u think on this specific flop texture (with 3highcards) we should give up or 3barrel?

Hi, i think you are barreling too wide if you continue betting this hand. IMO he doesn't fold sets on turn so we would have to bluff again on river to make him fold those hands and straights..

This then becomes an expensive spot with a hand with no blockers for flush either. What's more we even block the set/2pair combos we are trying to bluff VS as well!

I think the Cbet on flop is OK given we have backdoor spades and ace.

Hi,

the spot is specific because villain can't really have any floats or light calls on this board. When he calls such a flop he can't be calling with just a pair, therefore his flop calling range is much more heavily weighted towards hands that just aren't letting go of the turn.

regards,

Skod

I'M definetely checking this vs 2 opponets. You dont even have top 2. U are not pushing any equity edge and I think bottom 2 p+gs here is very marginal. Ok u might turn it into a 3 barrel bluff (as a very light semibluff), but i dont think it will be profitable given that u have no blockers so you will be barreling in the dark with a hand that will not improve and when it does it faces serious reversed implied odds.
