Hey guys,
here´s a hand I misplayed. Don´t have the pic anymore, so I describe it:

Hero is on BTN with A♠ J♠ T♥ K♣
1 limper (CO) before me so I raise from BTN
SB folds
BB calls, CO calls

Flop comes 2♠ 2♥ 8♠

Action goes check check and I decide to c-bet half pot. BB calls, CO folds.

Turn comes: 7♠

Bet another half-pot and BB calls again.

River blanks, is neither a 2 nor an 8, BB bets out pot and I get it in. BB shows 88xx for an FH.

I played this hand totally bad, I know, but how do you approach such paired boards with a strong draw?

I think I should have x-ed back turn and then ........just call? Fold to a pot-sized bet? Call a half-pot bet? Keep the pot small?

Why to call the river? What kind of hand can we beat there, except pure bluff?

Trips, worse flushes.

What she said. And bluffs too. That's why you check turn.

If we have read of passive calling machine opponent would bet turn, bet river be reasonable then? On this paired board full houses should be quite rare I think as 2xxx hands should be somewhat rare and 77xx is very unlikely.

A loose-passive calling machine can hold pretty much anything. In PLO4 it´s a lot about "gambling". Villains play too many hands they shouldn´t.

C-Bet is normal with paired board.

Definitely check on turn , villain could be calling flop with trips or FD. Betting turn big mistake as more costly to call on river.:f_fr

Yes, the best line is: c-bet half pot flop, x turn, call river.

The spewy part was bet turn.
