[Closed] PLO5 AAk9

i'm not a hand judge, but i'll take a crack at this one anyway...

if your going to raise bad AA pre, then make it a full pot raise.

cbet on the flop is fine, altho i dont think it will work very often, as board is super drawy. bet size on flop should be a little bigger?maybe something like .38

on turn, check behind, you have no fold equity here and could already be behind something like T8xx, and your never folding out a hand like 67ss (combo draw)

on river, that card completes a boatload of straights/2 pairs, so i would check behind if he checks to us, or just fold if he leads into us.

also, hide results when posting hands

hope this helps!

I actually only did the cbet because i basically had no good redraws except the Flush draw, So my plan was to bet and hope to take down the pot.

I guess my reasoning while i was playing on the turn was that i could get called by many worse hands like KK or FDs and straight draws.

If i had a crack at it again i might be checking flop, and betting turn to charge all draws.

I am still figuring this game out but I play this the same as you FWIW.
Maybe a smaller turn bet.

There are 2 lines you should be taking in this hand, you took one of them.

The reasoning is as follows. Well it's not a great flop for us, there are a boat load of draws out there, but it helps to balance, so bet the same as always, around half pot. When we get called, opponent must be on a draw since there are so many draws out there if he had a made hand like a set, he would surely raise here to charge the draws.

The turn is the best card in the deck, a complete brick and opponent checks to us again. If we were "ahead" on the flop (we are behind lots of draws on that flop!) we're still ahead on the turn, and now we're favourite over the draws, so go ahead and bet full pot. I just don't see opponent showing up with a set here, and if he is being super passive with 2 pair, we still have 8 outs to bink a better 2 pair.

River is an easy check behind as a lot of combos have improved to a straight or 2 pair (such as JT9x).

The other line to take on this hand is to check behind on the flop since there are a billion draws out there, we do this against aggressive opponents who like to bloat pots with draws. If he bets into us on the turn, we just fold since he will likely bet into us again on the river and we have no idea if we are good or not.
