Hand 1 - no
Hand 2 - no

Why, you ask??

Blinds: $0.10/$0.25

Actually, hand 2 might not be a bad spot with that "please take the pot away from me" minbet on the river - if you were last to act. You're still going to be called by anyone who actually has a 5, even if they don't have a FH.

Hand 1 - fold preflop. that hand is garbage. a bare ace bluff works only against very good opponents which you don't often find at that level.

hand 2 - its not worth the price because its not gonna work often enough. Don't be looking to bluff this low.

Please, to everyone, if your ONLY contribution will be to point out that it is PLO $25 either pretend it is a higher limit or don't bother.

I don't think nut peddling is the maximum EV you can get out of this level. I bluff very rarely, but I am definetely making money doing it. Hell, some days I make more on my bluffs than my actual hands. :?

I think unless you're up against calling stations both are probably +ev spots to bluff. Hand 1 is tough because the bare ace bluff is on a runner-runner so he's less likely to swallow it (i.e. if he has a lower flush he's perhaps more likely to call, or even a straight with a 3) but his play so far doesn't convince me he necessarily has either of those things so he's probably..... Ah, I just noticed you were up against two opponents.... in that case I probably don't try it. And that's a horrible call preflop, truly horrible. I assume you have a 100% VPIP if you call that hand? OOP and against a raiser, ugh.

Hand 2 looks like a spot where they're not going to call, though.

Hand #1
Yeah that preflop call seems terribly loose when I look at it. I went through the DB and it turns out the raiser was a LAG who raised 15% preflop and liked to CB and float, I was probably a bit sick of him (but shouldn't be calling OOP either way).

Hand #2
I really doubt I will be called 50% of the time or more. Those minibets are either extremely stupid bluffs or blocking bets made by some stupidly weak hand like an over pair or top-and-bottom.

One of the reasons I am looking for good spots to bluff is that I am NOT getting called on the river often enough when I am valuebetting. People are definetely calling less than 50% of my bets on the river, more like 20-25%, so I would be giving up a lot of EV if I didn't start bluffing.

I'd say my bluffs get called about a 25-35% of the time. When I say I sometimes make more on bluffs than on made hands it's for those sessions where no draws hit and you always have to fold the turn/river to the opponent, and without the bluffs you'd be in the red.

I also find that people tend to be calling stations *until* the river. They will chase a LOT of draws that they shouldn't be chasing but will pretty often give up on the river. Of course there are monkeys that can't let go of any two-pair but they tend to bust so quickly that they don't stick around long, the ones that fold to the big river bets tend to survive much longer.

And I don't mean to sound snippy, but I've already heard the "It's low stakes just nut peddle" argument a lot of times so I am aware that it is the common opinion. And sure, it is +EV and low variance but I happen to think that:
1. It isn't optimal. You're leaving money on the table.
2. If I just nut peddle I won't get better and be able to move up in levels.

Either way I really appreciate the feedback (and yes, of course I won both hands ;))
