PLO - AA call down

[Stoneburg]

Blinds 0.5/1, Villain has 120, I have him covered.

AAT7o on the button. 3 limpers to me and I limp (hah!). SB calls and villain who is BB pots it to 7. One limper calls, shorty calls all-in, I call and SB calls.

Here I have two opportunities to raise, first against the limpers, then when the BB pots it. How bad is it to not raise any of them?

Flop comes 226 with a flush draw (I don't have that Ace). SB checks, BB pots it (32) and it is folded to me. I call and SB folds.

Other than hitting an Ace I can't imagine a much better flop against a BB raiser. I'm waiting to see if a heart hits on the turn since other than an overpair I can't see him betting anything else. If a heart comes, I'm out, if not, I'm all-in.

Turn is an off suit K. BB pushes, I call.

Ok if he had KK he just sucked out but I stick to my original plan.


Abysmal or OK?

PLO or PLO8? I'm assuming PLO.

[Stoneburg]

Yeah sorry, PLO obviously (I wouldn't call a raise with AAT7 in PLO8)

With AAT7 no suits I'd either fold or re-raise preflop... The latter if you think you might be able to push the limper out with a re-raise. You may also consider making a small raise if you think BB is aggro enough to push after making that out of position raise.

It doesn't play that great especially against a multi-way field so even in position it's tough to play and, if you have a slight edge preflop, I think you're better off exploiting it by raising if you want to play. Personally I'd lean towards a fold but I'm not convinced there's too much difference either way.

Flop is a bit opponent specific but if he's aggressive it seems you're probably ahead here. Given the assumption that you are ahead, I think pushing is probably better than calling (he may shut down anyway if he doesn't have a hand, so you probably won't lose much in that case, but you may make him incorrectly fold a hand that includes, say, a T high flush draw). The K looks a bad card on the turn but I think you have to call.

Well I call on the flop because there's a guy behind me who limp/called in the SB. HE could very well have a deuce or 66, so if he wakes up, I'm getting out.

I am of course fairly sure I am ahead of BB. Flush draw or lower PP seems reasonable. He can't have KK on the turn because no way he pushes there with the nut full, he'll try to milk, so I should still be ahead.

The only thing that worried me was an AA with the flush draw free-rolling. He showed , , , so he was on the naked flush draw. Shorty had A674 rainbow so I get the loot.
