Hey RIO'ers,

I'm relatively new to PLO and not much of a HU player so I'd definitely take some advice on this hand.

Here Villain is unknown, 3bets us so I would tend to think that calling IP with a double suited hand is okay (I guess).

On the flop I think he'll continue with almost 100% of his range, we have 2nd pair, and we have some outs against big pairs (QQ/KK/AA). I prefer floating rather than bluff raising since it allows us to realize our equity (FD+GS).

On the turn when he checks, I think I can make him fold a lot of AKQx hands that have good equity against us, but again, not really sure about my play.

On the river I just give up, I don't think we represent a lot except a J or a straight and it looks a lot like a busted draw. Do you think shoving as a bluff is a better option here?

Thanks a lot for you input on this one guys!

P.S. By the way I also posted an unanswered thread on HU adjustments here, if you have any input as well that'd be great :)
