Dear PLO-fellows,

I would like to know what you would have done in the situation below - would you bet the river? What if you bet the River and Villian goes All-in?

BTN: 100 BB
SB: 289 BB
BB: 207.8 BB
Hero (UTG): 159.6 BB
MP: 12.6 BB
CO: 96.6 BB

SB posts SB 0.4 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.4 BB) Hero has A♦ J♦ J♠ K♠

Hero raises to 3.4 BB, MP calls 3.4 BB, fold, fold, SB calls 3 BB, fold

Flop: (11.2 BB, 3 players) Q♠ 2♦ 6♦
SB checks, Hero bets 7.2 BB, fold, SB calls 7.2 BB

Turn: (25.6 BB, 2 players) 9♦
SB checks, Hero bets 16.2 BB, SB calls 16.2 BB

River: (58 BB, 2 players) Q♥
SB checks, Hero checks

Spoiler

SB shows J♣ 7♦ T♣ T♦ (Flush, Ten High)
(Pre 34%, Flop 8%, Turn 3%)
Hero shows A♦ J♦ J♠ K♠ (Flush, Ace High)
(Pre 66%, Flop 92%, Turn 98%)
Hero wins 55.8 BB

Thanks for your time in advance & best regards,

You don't say what limit this is, but where I play PLO, the turn would be a pot-sized bet.

OTR I think that if villain hit his boat, then a small bet to induce a bluff might tell you he did.

With that in mind, I would bet something decent (I use 2/3 pot, but only because my client is set up that way), and I sometimes fold to a full pot raise, and sometimes call depending how villain has behaved before.

Cheers,
VS

OTT As a default it's theoretically right to bet pot as standard as vorpal said because with his sets he has decent equity to a fullhouse you dont want him to make a correct call. I personally have 2 sizings here: 4/5pot and half pot. 4/5 im repping the nutflush, semibluff topset and bluff the nutflushblocker and set up for a big bet on blank rivers. Against strong regulars if I recognize they adapt, Im also mixing in some of the nutflushes into my halfpot range so I protect my 1/2pot-1/2pot flush value ranges with some nuthands to protect it against players that might catch up. Against weaker players 2/3-pot everything makes sense you need to get a rough poicture which hands they pay off and how often they have those.

OTR you make a small token valuebet here of 1/4pot to get value from non-nut-flushes and maybe trips. If he is capable of encountering this better just check behind.

Bet turn a little bigger, and bet river 2/3 pot. If he raises river you happily fold.
