[Closed] PLO $25 Nut flush versus loose player

while others might disagree with me here...

we can only call or shove.

and.. i ship this in. he could be slowplaying, but i think there are way too many hands (even hands in his slowplaying range) that we beat here (AND will call a 3bet from a shortstack)

with 5 players on the flop you can narrow down the calling range of a single player to a very strong range and I don't expect MP2 to raise a worse flush/trips for value so I think this is an easy fold.

Check the river and let your opponent either give a free showdown and or bluff at you. Betting nutflush OOP in a paired board, especially in a pot that was 5 way to begin with, is madness.

I personally think you need to nearly call that minraise with 1:4 odds, even though like Sim87, if it was anything bigger you'd have an easy fold in your hands.

why bet the nut flush draw on a paired board? and since he called i think checking the river is best here. the pot is still small and i don't think a nut flush on a 5 way paired board is good to win big anyway.

But then I lose value on baby-flushes, trips,two-pair,str8 etc. if villain checks behind with marginal SD value. This guy was loose.

Nunki, you are losing more value by betting. What hands do you think will call? If he is as loose as you say, he is more inclined to bet at you with worse hands than he is inclined to call. Now he reraised your bet and instead of keeping the pot small with a marginal hand, you face a difficult situation and an expensive SD.

Your hand is mediocre at that spot. Don't overplay it.
