PLO8, $200 buyin. Dealt AA5Qds in middle seat. Raise it up for the pot preflop. One caller is the BB, who has a stack of around $100 and is an average to poor player, but not maniacal. He is not aversed to chasing lows.

Flop brings 46T rainbow. He checks to you. What is your move here?

Say you check, the turn brings an offsuit 2. He checks to you. Whaddya do?

Say you bet pot on flop, the turn is an offsuit 2, and he checks. What now?

Ha ha, tee hee hee, so now you ask one of ME.

Ok, good question Anyway, first of all, I would just limp in with this hand. Do you really want the three bucks in blinds? This is a weak hand, that is only worth a limp, hoping for some perfect flop.

Having been called, I would have bet say half pot on that flop, and Again on the turn.

He has to have a perfect hand, to beat you both ways. Such as A 3 5, or A 2 3 with another pair, etc. THIS IS HARD TO DO.

Howver, if check-raised on the turn, I would be prepared to dump.

I would bet the turn, regardless of whether or not you bet the flop.

The caller just may put you on a busted low draw, and actually call with Some sort of
A 7 or such hand, with a minor pair.

Here is where good player notes come in handy. Does this person tend to bet out with big hands, or check raise.

By betting say 7 on the flop and 15 on the turn, you can get away with the hand if they make a big check raise, and you put them on a better two-way hand.


And thank you for patronizing the ATE section.


Who knows, maybe there will actually be an ATE book.

But then, omaha will be too hard to beat
