Amazing video as usual. An introduction to 2-7 would be nice.

At 19:00 on the bottom right table, is it a mistake to check/call the AQ34?

I assume villain will always vbet lower flushes and check behind with 2pairs so that would mean the only way for hero to make money would be leading even without diamond blockers. And that would also allow us to lead some busted straight draws, as you mentioned.

Or is it the case that if we always lead AQxx and flushes our checking range on the river will be too weak? So vs a strong villain we will be blown off Axxx and weak 2pairs too often, so by checking AQxx we're protecting that part of our range.

What is the correct statement?

At 16min~ you 3bet 6A79ss. Doesn't this hand just play pretty bad in 3bet pots 100bbs deep? After we cbet and get raised, don't we have to call? It seems we have the correct odds to call.

I agree that's the best option. Honestly I wouldn't mind having my sn outed if I could get my game analyzed like this but really poor judgement to just hide hero's sn. Expected more of RIO.

On a happier note I thought this was an interesting video. Gotta a couple questions.

1- Phil when you say all 3 plays are viable, does that mean we should be doing some % of the 3? Obv depending on the villain it might be best to just do one but what if he's being balanced and seems solid? If it is the case that we should be doing some % of the 3, how would you decide the frequencies?

2- It seems that one of the biggest differences between 2/4-5/10 regs and the higher stakes regs is intensity. Would you agree with that?

Terrible manners the SN thing. Michael W you should def out hero's sn. Very disappointed with RIO.

Nice video! More mixed games!

He didn't check behind, hero is OOP.

Another plo coach would def add a lot of value to the site, I think I've said this before in another thread but someone that could review hands with oracle would be really useful and a great addition to the site.

I'd also really like to see a hh review using odds oracle. Especially for plo, and if you guys could somehow use odds oracle to try looking for the GTO line of a particular hand that would be awesome.

Nice vid. At 52~min on the bottom left with 4T85ds on 6J39ccc I think the check plays better for our hand on the turn cuz of the reasons you mentioned. But I'd really like to bet the turn with most of our range, since I believe we have great fold equity and our range is mostly toppair, low wrap, toppair+oe, etc so if we could make villain fold his equity on the turn (which is pretty decent vs our range) that would be excellent for us, no? Because of that I feel we should include as many flushes as possible in our range even if they play very poorly vs villain's raising turn range.

Or should we be satisfied with the check since we get to realize our equity with our whole range? And since we are checking a good number of flushes on the turn it will be pretty tough for villain to just lead river and steal the pot when we have weak sd value, + in general our range is weaker so it's possible that we could get more incorrect calls on the river when we vbet?

I'm always confused in this spot, any help is appreciated.

Very good video, I've really wanted to see a PLO HU video and this one def delivers.
Since you asked for suggestions I'd really like to see a hand history review using oracle or a similar program for a more math based approach.

To answer this question I think we would need to know exactly where TT95ssss stands in our range. Maybe if it's at the bottom 5% of our opening range we could still profitably open and fold to a 3bet??? (Not sure what the actual number is).Problem is if we fold with any frequency to his 3bets he will be instantly be making money every time he 3bets cuz even if his range is very wide it still has very good equity vs anything.Isn't folding pre better than opening then folding to a 3bet? (If that's our plan)

Not sure how often his bluffing in this spot but it's some of the time, plus the fact that he could be vbetting worse and the odds you are getting make this a call imo.
I think calling the 3bet on the turn is the correct play, and seems to be one of the few situations in plo you are way behind or way ahead so it's a good idea to keep his bluffing range in the hand.

Was there a propbet on how many times you could say "you know" in 23mins? lol

Good point about xr on the turn. I think overall 2barreling too much is going to be a more expensive mistake than cbetting a lot of flops so I should be looking to take advantage of that. Also by c/c the flop I'm already protecting my flop range.

His fold to c/r is 67%. I reviewed our match and he's definitely the type to attack weakness and stay out of my way when I attack. I think the reason for that is because I was pretty much card dead and wasn't able to attack with a decent frequency.

I guess not, obv can't be 100% sure. He was very agro with the betting initiative but didn't seem to be attacking when I showed strenght.
His c/r was only 13% and his 3bet 11% which is strange for this kind of player but I'm not sure if these stats could be of help to the present situation. It makes him more likely to have Ah flush if he doesn't 3bet a lot but not sure how important that is.

Just use ev++, each line represents a possibility for a certain WR and std deviation. It will give u a far better and more accurate idea than asking in a forum.

Inviting the button seems the far better option. Your hand dominates a lot of the hands in the button's range and if you ship pre and the button folds you are obv behind vs AA, so no point in that.

Nice video, perhaps a leak finder for the next video could be nice.

He'd never really bluff with the Jc because all the queens are out there and almost always he will get snap called, except when the hero has all the queens lol.
