PokerStars - $1.44+$0.06|15/30 PL Hi (2 max) - Omaha - 2 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 3: http://www.pokertracker.com

Hero (SB): 700.00
BB: 300.00

Hero posts SB 15.00, BB posts BB 30.00

Pre Flop: (45.00) Hero has 2s 6s 5d Ad

Hero calls 15.00, BB raises to 90.00, Hero calls 60.00

Flop: (180.00, 2 players) 9d 2d Qc
BB bets 120.00

Do we call or raise here? We have generally 50% equity here, and we aren't folding to a turn because we have enough equity no matter what card comes. Should we call to simply induce bluffs as we aren't folding regardless?

In this case, BB only has 300 chips, but can we assume we both have 500?

Are we calling or shoving here? If we call to induce on the turn, what are we folding on the turn, or are we calling everything?

Hi, please post all hands to seperate threads so that it's easier to follow for people wanting to read the discussions that result from them. :f_biggrin:

Hand 3: I would just fold preflop, it's a really bad hand and once you limp you're telling your opponent that you don't have anything good. Fold preflop, fold to the preflop raise and fold flop all seem quite easy plays.

Hand 2: raise preflop, dont limp. Give your opponent a chance to fold his hand. You're being way too passive for Heads up. Shoving the flop is fine here.

Hand 1: Raise or fold preflop, dont limp your button. On the flop you hit a pair, have a gutshot straight flush draw to go with this. Probably fine to shove here.

Thanks Ribbo, when you say raise the button, I understand this from HU NL Hypers, sometimes Im just not sure what's a decent hand to be raising the button with. Is a good rule of thumb 3 well connected high cards and single suited?

As for the PFR, is it a 2x raise or 3x raise? I would imagine QQ+ hands being more optimal to 3x, but that might mean we need to 3x more of our less premium hands... Also, if the opponent likes to 3-bet alot, does that mean we adopt the 2x raise, and what is our range that we 2x raise but fold to a 3-bet pot pfr?

Ribbo thanks for your help again, and I found a tool that may help me with deciding on what to do preflop, its a preflop calculator: http://www.preflopper.com/calco/calculator.php

Its a bit different than what PT3 gives you in terms of equity (even against an unknown hand). I was wondering if I could have some rules of thumb on what I should be doing with which hutchison points.

My general rule is, if your hand isn't good enough to raise with preflop then fold. :f_biggrin:

As for heads up play, it's not something I do generally and indeed I think it's the hardest form of PLO to learn. I would recommend starting with 6 max or full ring until you get the hang of relative hand strengths.
