PLO25 zoom BB vs SB

is he always minraising from the SB?
would be nice to know his SB open%.

Pre call is fine, i think when he bets flop with this small size i like to raise a bit for protection/very thin value/ending the hand right there/free SD. Pick one of those
Reason is that i dont think he is ever strong there, and if he is, he is probably going to 3bet the flop and vs that you can fold easily.

Turnbet is mandatory imho, we dont want to give freecards vs some picked up draws/random pairs.

River is close, vs this 22 WTS guy i can see myself turning this hand into bluff, he can have J6,KJ,K6,67 etc. which he might fold. I'd choose 2/3 pot as betsize, we dont want to bet bigger here and look polarized, also i would be valuebetting A7/AJ+ this way. Vs a guy who is more showdown bound it should be a checkback.

Hi Suhepxm, his open from SB is 30% and usually minraise but not always.

How much would you raise on the flop? $2?

Hi,

the problem with raising the flop here (against thinking opponents as always) is that we are repping very thin as we 3bet AA 100% of the time Bvb, so we are repping only AJ and JJ here with the raise; even JJ sometimes just calls here as it's usually a way ahead way behind scenario.

It makes the hand easier to play vs weak villains for sure.

Turnbet is standard; i would fire river 4,2$ish and turn my hand into a bluff. He should have a lot of weak 2 pair that will/should fold.

Hi Skod

Would you bet also $4.20 if you actually had TQ, AA and may be KK?

Actually I bet $3.73, and in these spots I'm betting this way a str8, any set and sometimes top 2, is that range too thin to value bet bvb?

Blinds battles are sometimes way too loose or bluffy, that's why I value bet very thin (because also I bluff often), under other circumstances (different positions) probably I just bet the str8 and higher sets on the river.

What do you think about this?

HI,

one of the biggest leaks i see in my students are bets that are 2 small. I would bet that amount with my entire range for sure; and the hands you are mentioning are prime candidates for that, and it's definetly not too thin.

By betting on the bigger side you discourage villains making hero calls; you are putting more pressure on them making a decision, and i like doing that. With your ammount you are getting called too often by weak bluffcatchers imo; you are also loosing value from hands like Axxx with 2 pair the times you do have a strong hands;

however give the fact this is plo25, you could bet this amount with value hands to incourage light calls, and make it bigger when you do have a bluff as noone will realize it; it's good to practice being balance at these levels from time to time though, so you don't need to learn in on the fly when you move to plo100 for example, and your mistakes cost you 4 times more.
