I am playing $50 PLO on paradise. I am the BB with Q856. Flop is K42, rainbow. I check and it checks around. Turn is giving me the nut straight, but putting the 2nd diamond on the board. I lead pot, UTG, raises pot. folds back to me. I have the nuts with no redraw. Do you rebump it here? I am afraid that I am being freeroled, but as it turns out the moron turned a set of 3's and I had the best hand. River is the diamond it freezs out my hand, he checks behind and I still win. Is it better to take the chance of freerolling someone here? Or do you just call and win a smaller pot when the occasionally moron turns over a low set?

oop, i usually play it the same way you do except for maybe the river. I might bet out the river so that someone with the same straight folds and you don't split. Someone is not likely to raise you without the flush on the river and you can fold for likely a cheaper price than if you check and he bets with the flush.

Against decent players the standard answer is this - he probably has the same straight more often than not, thus you should call down and bet any river, rather than pushing in the turn. It puts all your money in ANYWAYS but you might blast him off a split (same straight) if the river comes with a diamond or a board pair. If he did have a redraw and makes it, you lose no more than you'd have lost by pushing on the turn (in fact, potentially a lot less if the stacks are deep). Against a dink who does it with bottom set, might be best off just getting it in on the turn.
