PLO50 AT76sss x-r semibluff

For me it's hard to imagine that he holds a check-back type of hand from which we could extract some extra value at the river (9Txx, sets, toptwo). I would assume some QTcc, Q9cc with a pair or stg., which he is probably going to bet with on the river. My decision would be a ch-r, but against a good reg, I would probably try a small bet to induce.

Basically it depends a lot on how villain does value bet river. I have seen quite a lot of check backs in general on such big pots so I would not be surprised if third nuts check. Other issue in river x-r versus bet is sizings. If villain does bet its often quite small sizing and when we go for x-r it very often ends up in getting fold as nut blocker bluffs in these sort of spots are almost non existent in these stakes. So if villain mainly call versus river pot size with flush and only use smallish sizing when betting it can be tough to get more value with x-r.

But yeah big factor is also whatever villain is capable of bluffing. Versus some aggro players I would definitely go for x-r with this combo.

Yeah you may be right, I dont know the tendencies on PL50, I play mainly PL10, but nowadays trying a stab on PL25, depending on the actual field.

For me, it is a little aggressive play on the TURN. The check-raise move is alright...

Exactly: After the second barrel - Everythings gonna be alright against just one Villain...... (On the TURN: Easy win / Easy fold decision)

Solver is more leaning toward leading this flop with triple nutsuit. I personally simplified it leading 100% when having three suits with nutflushdraw because differentiating those hands is already pretty extensive. I guess the reason is, if we check-raise and get called we block 1 of our own outs which hurts more in a bigger pot but I agree that check-raising is a solid alternative. I don´t like check-calling as it is hard to have a turn card where we start donking and we have good continuing blockers with 7♥: and 6♣: and we have no SDV.

With our specific hand (three suits and the blocker) 2barreling the turn is fine but be aware that our betting frequency is not very high as the card is bad for our range in general. Check-calling is an option here.

On the river solver first calculates betting then switches into checking showing that the EV is pretty similar (both lines have around 120bb EV and solver is checking 100% with both leading sizings (100%+50% or just 75%). I assume that the reason for check-raising is, that we block villains check-back range consisting of low flushes and are more likely to induce a bluff stab otr from a no-flush hand. If you fear villain might check-back lots of strong flushes and also barely bluffing (in rush environment there are lots of such asian rakeback nits betting nuts only on all sort of textures) we surely might donk half-pot since it allows us mimic this line with a high bluff-frequency.

I classify triple suited flush draw cards and quad suited flush draw cards as minus goods or very strong flush blockers.
