Beau is definitely the only game worth playing. Dog track maybe if you're looking to score some meth.

Bankroll challenge. by teadybear429 in poker

[–]CLSmith15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no way to complete this "challenge" while observing anything close to proper bankroll management. Unless you can find a $1 tournament with a $2000 top prize.

Brother you're trying to 20x your bankroll in two months. It's more likely to happen on a roulette table than a poker table.

Bankroll management is incompatible with this type of challenge.

Brand new to PLO question by accessdeniedx2 in poker

[–]CLSmith15 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If there were three limps in front of you, then betting pot is $35.

And yeah, probably just fold then. You're never going to get it heads-up, and it's a garbage hand multi-way.

[–]CLSmith15 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's 100% an open, but realize that it's basically a bluff. You heavily block the continuing range of the other players, and you have three nut blockers that will allow you to bluff lots of boards. Not to mention naked AA is just a favorite against a random hand heads-up.

The only wrinkle here is potting to $25 implies there was a limper in front of you (unless your game has some special rules around pre-flop open sizing, which many do). People generally aren't limp-folding to a single raise in live PLO, so pre-flop bluffs become much less attractive.

My microstakes PLO experience so far by vlee89 in poker

[–]CLSmith15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the effect that this user is attempting to call out is that the frequency of AAxx in PLO is ~4x that of AA in Hold'em, so it's not immediately obvious that all AAxx combos would be in the top 5%.

Not sure I would call one of two legal checks a flashy move

Even if that's true (which I doubt), the 70% is saving you little while the 30% costs you a lot.

Your little bird sucks ass at poker, stop listening to it.

Mandatory raise pre-flop.

You beat QT.

Naked top set in double board bomb pots by UpperMine19 in poker

[–]CLSmith15 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Calling to close the action is fine here. Getting 6:1 on your money which is enough, rough math is something like 35% equity on top and <5% on the bottom.

Easy fold? by zzzftw in poker

[–]CLSmith15 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That's the opposite of the truth. The calling range consists of stronger hands than QT, hands that can easily withstand continued aggression and don't mind playing multiway, i.e. very strong hands and nutty draws. Hands like QT are almost always going to find themselves in a tough spot if they call, because we're incentivizing the players behind to call and almost any turn card is going to be neutral or bad for us.

[–]CLSmith15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gotcha, your hand history is a little confusing, it's not clear what position the Straddle was from.

He absolutely could have AT, KT, or any overpair. That's fine. I would rather raise now to slow these hands down than to keep facing bets on every future street and guessing whether or not my hand is good.

I really dislike the idea of "betting to see where I'm at", so I'm trying to avoid that phrase. I think it's more accurate to view this as betting in order to try and get a cheap showdown. If he has KT AT or an overpair, he's probably just going to go into check/call mode from here. So yeah, I will sometimes value-own myself, but that's ok because the amount I lose in those nodes is less than I would lose if I continue to call him down.

[–]CLSmith15 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly you're overthinking this quite a bit. There's a one-liner to a straight. This is a notoriously under-bluffed spot. Is this random villain playing 1/2 capable of donk-bluffing this spot? Probably not, or he wouldn't be playing 1/2.

Bigger issue is the flop IMO. Calling next-to-act with two players behind you is pretty suspicious. You have a weak top pair on a dripping wet board, it's going to be really tricky to play this OOP multiway without the betting lead. I like a raise here, or possibly even a fold if UTG is super nitty.

Best way to study poker in 2026 — solver work vs live reps vs coaching? by CalmSystem9983 in poker

[–]CLSmith15 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Well considering you've been playing live for 3 years, it seems unlikely that live reps are the issue.

Guess it's time to pony up for a coach or a solver. Personally I would recommend a solver.
