5/5/10 live
utg+1 opened 35 . MP(nit reg) raises to 140. i decided to flat QcQs on the HJ. SB (fairly tight straightforward player) overcalls. inital open folded.
FLOP : 4,5,9 s s x
MP c bets 250.. i flat and SB went all in for 500 more ( 750). MP tanks and flats with abt 800 behind.
Can i justify a call or is it always auto fold in that spot.
Thank you

would like to inquire abt staking deals that would help both horse and backer and alignment of incentives. read some on saucestakes and would like to enquire anyone who is clear with the action taking/staking arrangement deals.
Traditionally i had a deal with a friend involving 50% cash outs of profits but am thinking of making it x% staking, y% action sharing.
Action with staking example of 50% staking, 30% of own action
For example, if horse wins 100k, horse would win 30k of his own action, and (0.5*70k) of the remaining action for total of 65k profit. This is opposed to the traditional 50k that he would win under a full stake.
conversely, if horse loses 100k, horse would lose 30k of his own action, staker loses 70k of action.
Thoughts on this anyone, and anyone with better ideas, pls do not hesitate to chime in.

lost, he has nut flush A8 diamonds. it is true that pot odds were the main reason i called, but seems like at best im calling to chop with AK, and usually just has a flush

effective stacks me and villian is 300bb.
UTG(tight reg,300bb) opens 4bb utg, 3 callers, Indian recreational player(50bb) comes along in sb, I decide to just flat with AsKh off in BB.
Flop: 200(5 way)
Ks5d7d, two diamonds.
Indian recreational player donks 150, i flat, villian flats.
Turn: (650)
Ks5d7dAh
indian recreational player x, i bet 475, villian tanks and flats again. indian recreational folds.
River: (1600)
Ks5d7dAhTd
I check. villian bets 500. I decided to call b/cos i was kinda priced in, even tho there are no bluffs in his range at this point. I was mainly hoping to chop with AK given his very tight pre flop range.
online i always just call, but live game this is much different and i feel like its a fold
appreciate the comments :)

I was in BB.
thanks for ur reply sneeze.
i like a 55% c bet in live games, he faces the same pressure and decision with hands like AQ, small pairs etc and i c bet a high% when i 3 bet. hands like 77 AQ etc play fit or fold, 55% i'm folding same number of hands. I would like to hear why you like a 140 c bet on this board tho.
the problem with just 2 barelling, is that a ton of hands that peel flop are TT JJ, 99 with one diamond or KTd A5 with one diamond etc hands, pair str draw hands, and flushes and straights that nvr fold of course. i have very little fold equity on the turn in my opinion (cos i feel it hits him super hard) but i'm barelling because at the same time, i don't like to give up equity or play face up when i x/call and what better hand to barrel than with a hand like this.
I'm not a fan of just two barelling, and giving up river when a complete brick like an off suit 9 hits because there are some parts of his range on the river like the abovementioned hands calling turn that i can fold on the river.
X/raise might also be interesting.
However, u might want to enlighten me why i shld just two barrel instead if theres a misconception that i might have.
So assuming that an off suit 9 on the river hits, what would be a good sizing to have? or tricky rivers such as an off suit Ace or a one card straight like an off suit 5.
It would be good if there a mathematical way to calculate these evs here and reassess the best play on the turn.

i have 300bb, button(good reg) has 300bb, folded to button, he raises 30, i 3 bet to 100 with AdJh, and it's HU.
Flop: Kd2d4h
i c bet 110, and opponent calls.
Turn 6d.
what is the optimal play here? x/fold seems to be conservative and fine but what abt bet overbet river? or check raise turn and bomb river. most play seems fine, just not a fan of check calling. any math based approach to this spot?

Hi phil,
im NL player transitioning to PLO, always am tempted to bluff when river changes and am usually lost when villian bets into me on turns or river where board changes.
On 35:19, with JT97 double suited where board reads Js4s3T and river comes an off suit 5, what shld our thought process and approach be when villian has like 1pot size left and bets into us?
I am usually troubled by this spots when villian donks into us and when have hand like AKQ with busted spades, im tempted to bluff it in

This was a hand which happened in a PLO home game I organised few nights back, $1/$1 blinds PLO. I got dealt A-10-8-6 ds in the big blind, 3 limpers to me and I opened the betting in the big blind, and the same 3 limpers called. We saw an A-A-4 flop, I c-bet 20-ish BBs into a 26 to 30 BBs pot. The player behind me folded, and the UTG + 1 raised to 58 BBs (70+ BBs behind), the small blind x-shoved like 90+ BBs into both of us. It's obvious enough someone might have 4-4 for the underfull or the current vulnerable nuts A-4, but given the betting sequence, it's more likely 1 person has the underfull and another person has an Ace with a bigger kicker. What would u guys do in this situation? Gamble with ur 9 outs to hit ur nut house, or make a disciplined fold? I would like to think the positive EV move would be to release the hand since I had only committed like 20+ BBs but facing the stack sizes, I made a gambling shove, knowing the UTG + 1 was pot-committed. I missed my 6s, 8s and 10s, and the underfull held up against both the SB and my hand. How would u guys play this hand? To me, this was a bit like gambling on a nut flush draw given the pot odds. I was sitting with like 300+ BBs at the start of this hand. Turned out, UTG + 1 had 4-4-5-6 ss if I didn't rmb his exact hole cards wrongly for the underfull, and the SB who x-shoved into both of us had A-K-9-9 ss. If I had hit my outs, the pot which I would have won would be like in the neighbourhood of 320 BBs.

This was a hand which happened in the Sunday Millions few days back. I (Eugene_Tung) 3-bet shoved with 9-9 from the SB against the short stack (playing 13/9 over 24 hands) open in MP when he had merely a starting stack of 43.4k after he opened for 2.4x, basically committing himself to any shove. I felt my hand was too strong to fold in this spot, and I thought I was gonna be up against a race, not against a bigger overpair (though it's also possible but less likely). Was it a spot I coulda gotten away from? Was there any merit in folding the 9-9 in the SB in this situation? Let me know what you guys think. Thanks.
Th for the feedback. I was actually more concern the mp flat the jam with kks or aa bec i dont think sb will flat with kk n aa there.sb could have a fd (seen him flat akss before) . The idea was if i didnt hit my q .. i would fold if he bets into a side on the next street.
Anyway i called. Turn was a K. Check check.. river was 3. Mp bets 550 i folded
