The Kenneth is now back on the PLO scene - finally had a good couple of days where I felt I was actually playing well. I started a new job back in September and it meant I couldn't play, or study, anywhere near as much poker as I used to. As a result, my skill level definitely dropped and I found playing PLO a real struggle at the turn of this year. I feel now I'm finally beginning to get back to grips with it.
Anyway - these two hands were ones where I wasn't sure if I played them correctly and I'd appreciate comments on them:
Hand 1: $50 PLO at Party Poker
I'm in MP with $50 and get dealt 8s Td Tc Jh. 1 limper to me, I limp, 4 more limpers, SB completes and BB checks.
Flop is Ts Ah 2c. Checked to me and I bet pot of $4.30. Only UTG calls.
Turn is 5s. UTG checks, I bet $12.45 and he min raises me. I call.
River is 4d. [Final board : Ts Ah 2c 5s 4d] He bets $0.50! I call.
Hand 2: $100 PLO at Cryptologic. MP2 in this hand is a bit of a live one. Seen him get very aggressive with poor hands, and he's been running lucky and has a large stack.
I'm in MP/LP with $143 and get dealt Ac Th 8c 7c. EP limps, MP raises to 3, MP2 calls, I call, BB calls, and EP calls. Flop is 5 handed.
Flop is 3c Qc 6c. Checked to me and I bet $10 into a $15 ish pot. Just MP2 calls.
Turn is 6d. MP2 checks and I check.
River is Jh. Final board 3c Qc 6c 6d Jh. He bets $19 into $35 ish pot. I call.
I'd appreciate some comments on how I played these and how you think they should be played please. I'll post the results after some discussion!
Thanks,
