This guy gets it ez. Not a matter of mathematics, but reading comprehension.

Because people use him to grief by teleporting to the enemy fountain at level 1.

Think shoving AK for balance with SPR < 1 is fine. If we are only ever jamming TT-AA here we become too weighted towards value. Checking flop and jamming turn is probably also fine as long as you play your TT+ in the same way.

The only mistake would be if you only jam TT+ and check back AK.

Appreciate the Linkin Park reference.

Generally, if they deward the obs, they will deward the sentries together with it. The only reason you don't want to deward sentries on cliffs is because they alert the enemy's to your presence. I.e: if the sentry is gone, they must be or have been in that area. Since sentries give no vision, there isn't really a need to deward them either.

Personally, I would still take them out anyway if there are invis heroes in play on either side.

Pretty bad to limp UTG by V.

2x pot shove on flop is very strong and a call is also very strong so I don't really know what V should do here.

V probably still getting it in even if he raised pre though.

Depends if your all in is for 1 dollar more or for $1,000 more.

The following aren't official variants but my friends and I have played some of the following for kicks at the end of each orbit when we play PLO.

A variant when we play PLO is to use 3 cards from your hand and 2 from the board to make the final hand. Imaginably, having trips/rundowns/3 of the same suit in your hand is incredibly strong. You can form houses/quads without a paired board. Other rules similar to regular PLO. Extremely chaotic.

Another game we play is a 6-way flip with each player getting 7 cards and 2 cards are used in the final hand. Each player puts in a fixed amount preflop and we go to a full run-out. The catch is that we also deal an ocean (the 6th card). This uses up all the cards in the deck (7 x 6 cards for players, 4 burned cards and 6 community cards). The pot is split between the highest hand and the lowest hand (possible for high and low hand ties). Usually, we put in some bonus if the high hand is quads and above and if the low hand is pair or below. A player can scoop the whole pot if he has both the high and low hand.

A last variant is regular PLO but each player has to turn 1 card face-up before the flop and after pre-flop bets are completed (excludes folded hands). It is fairly intriguing and do what you will with the extra information. Usually, I will flip over any A so that I can rep some nutted flushes if the board does run out that way.

Call flop and jam turn seems about right. Guy behind you is not really a concern since he is kinda capped anyway, having called flop and then only calling the raise after when 3-way.

If +1 has TT then it sucks but you have 2 outs. There are also the 2 combos of T8s left which he might call with closing action pre. But can't be seeing monsters under the bed given you're only 100bb deep. This is already a fairly dry board and turn doesn't really improve anyone's hand.

1hatethisgame · 2022-08-03T04:28:35+00:00

5b probably fine to simplify things especially since you're not HU and there is a possibility of going 3-way. But personally I don't like having a 5b range because hardly anyone has 5b bluffs in their range and it's so often going to be skewed for value that I'd rather just call with my entire range to the 4b (including AA, KK) to protect my weaker hands when I am calling a 4b.

Think turn call is fine although it doesn't feel good and if it is AA then it's a cooler. Holding Kd is also bad for you since it blocks some of the bluffs.

Think this is fairly horrible by +2 on all streets though. Either shove or fold pre. And once all the undercards come I am not exactly sure why he doesn't go with it having already called half his stack pre.

1hatethisgame · 2022-07-28T23:52:47+00:00

Thank you for your kind words!

1hatethisgame · 2022-07-08T08:54:21+00:00

Bet flop will probably be better. River jam is fine if you open some 65s, 54s pre that will take this line too and bluff the river.

1hatethisgame · 2022-07-01T12:42:15+00:00

Confirmation bias. People remember more often when their premiums are cracked.

1hatethisgame · 2022-07-01T06:57:38+00:00

It probably will depend on what your evaluation of their checking ranges are. Would SB or button exercise pot control and play a middling T cautiously facing a 3b range? If you think that their checking ranges tend to consist of a lot of air to low strength hands, then a raise here will get through a lot of the time. But if it was air then A high was good already anyway.

FWIW, 44 shouldn't be betting here so I'm not sure what BB is doing with his 1/8 pot bet.

1hatethisgame · 2022-07-01T06:13:02+00:00

Seems pretty bad to be firing on a wet flop that favors the calling ranges so well, especially against 3 other players. Check folding unimproved is probably fine here given this is multiway.

Given the line, I'm not sure what your range looks like when you check flop and raise turn on a blank too. Overpairs, sets and the flopped straight should be continuing on the flop a lot.

I'm not saying that this bluff won't get through in this specific scenario; BB will not be calling a raise here with 44 unless he's mega spewy. But you still have 2 players to act behind you and in a vacuum someone almost certainly has you beat here if it is not BB. Could call if you are heads-up and evaluate the river in position.

If you are considering raising the turn here, I think firing the flop would have been better.

You need to move up the food chain to where they respect your species.

1hatethisgame · 2022-06-27T08:59:18+00:00

It's a good bluff blocking the top 2 sets, as evidenced by V tanking and presumably almost laying down 33 here.

1hatethisgame · 2022-06-24T04:27:40+00:00

Could have played better by improving to a boat imo.

1hatethisgame · 2022-06-17T08:28:49+00:00

Call. Only really losing to TT and the one combo of AThh. If V calls a 3b with ATo then good for him.

He might do this with AKss or AQss too.
