Live PLO - 2/2/5

Pre 3bet is kinda mandatory with this strong hand.

Flop at least in HU pot would be standard pot with SPR 4. Likely reasonable 3way as well.

Turn lead is kinda weird indeed. We do have some showdown value and if opponent has Ax two pair+ he is probably not looking to fold. You can argue we block T making TT and AT less likely but we also get ourself into sort of gray area if facing shove. So I would like to raise with more polarised combos and just call this one.

River as played is probably fine check. Though our showdown value is somewhat limited but we also do block AJ/AT that would tend to fold.

What combos should we bluff raise on the turn?

Also, what would be our best bluffs on the river? Is it a good idea to try and make better 2p/sets to fold? Or is it too ambitious with hero's hand?

Thanks!

I don't mind raise same combo but with nfd. With our hand the issue is that when we run into something like Ax+nfd our equity is looking pretty grim. We could also have perhaps some AKKdx type that has nice blocker components but pretty bad playability/equity to raise-fold.

As played in river I don't mind turning our hand into bluff either tbh. It does depend how often opponent leads straights in hope of getting called by some AA, AT type combos. Lead would make good amount of sense

Thank you

Last question about this hand. If the river is a blank/board pairing/Straight for me/Flush for me, which sizing should I choose? Because often in this case I will have AA and rarely bluffs?

If I bet any river in this spot it would always be all-in. That said you don't necessarily want to always value bet when improving as AA being top of our check range can easily lead into issues if opponent is capable of bluffing.
