This hand is between a reg at my stakes and someone I talk a lot of strategy with, playing around the same hours and times both being UK players it is useful to bounce ideas off of one another.

PokerStars - $0.02 Ante $0.01 PL Hi (6 max) - Omaha Hi - 5 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

SB: 267 BB (VPIP: 40.41, PFR: 30.62, 3Bet Preflop: 17.02, Hands: 796)
BB: 316.5 BB (VPIP: 72.00, PFR: 4.00, 3Bet Preflop: 6.25, Hands: 25)
UTG: 205 BB (VPIP: 55.56, PFR: 34.29, 3Bet Preflop: 21.43, Hands: 36)
Hero (CO): 250 BB
BTN: 445.5 BB (VPIP: 89.36, PFR: 11.35, 3Bet Preflop: 4.29, Hands: 143)

Spoiler

SB shows Q♠ T♦ 7♥ 8♥ (Full House, Tens full of Queens)
Board #1 (Pre 39%, Flop 91%, Turn 95%)
(Full House, Tens full of Queens)
Board #2 (Pre 39%, Flop 90%, Turn 95%)

Hero shows A♦ 6♥ K♣ K♥ (Two Pair, Aces and Tens)
Board #1 (Pre 61%, Flop 9%, Turn 5%)
(Two Pair, Kings and Tens)
Board #2 (Pre 61%, Flop 10%, Turn 5%)

SB wins 247 BB
SB wins 246.5 BB

What do you think? Should I have more T's in my range vs villain. This was a hand where I felt AAxx would have to fold hence why I did it as I gave villain far too much credit for his holding from 3betting out of the SB.

Villain 3bets 17% which for my stakes is huge, regs have 4% 3-bet including myself.

Your opinions would be helpful, constructive criticism would be appreciated haha.

Hi WhiteWalker
I am playing Ohmaha at the moment 24Hbet 6 handed (short stack is 30bb)
I am learning as I go :-)
Short it is a really a decision to reshove preflop or not, because your "mate" seems to be isolating (3bet) wide with fair rundown hands. Short I can flip with this guy with kings preflop.
Flop is probably a fold for me as played.

In general don't like to "level friendly regs" , rather use passive subconscious collusion as a strategy in general, especially with my blinds.

I am usually against at least one sometimes 2 players with 10-20% 3bet range and short stacked they provide most of my profit, especially multiway as he will often protect post flop.

Have fun
Regards Michael
:-)

4bet. You said you put him on aces, if thats the case then you should fold preflop. If his range is wide, you are ahead and can create flop SPR < 1.

Cheers, at the time I figured from the SB his range must have Aces in it a lot but a 17% 3-bet is massive. I did continue through the session to 4 bet him IP and it worked well when 4-bet continuing and taking the pot down like that. Calling a 3-bet kept the initiative with him and was not very good for me. I assumed I could out-level this played but it just worked against me.

What do you guys think of his play here? Talking to him about this hand afterwards he said he would bet fold this flop a lot and I didn't understand why he would pot bet the flop with his entire range and fold to a raise a lot of the time. Would you bet less on a paired board like this with your entire range?

He is ridiculously wide, as you can see from his hand. Also pot-cbetting this flop seems suboptimal, no matter what he has. But this is PLO2 and also deep-ante game, so maybe it works for him.

Yeh we were conversing about the hand and how a pot bet just cannot be the best sizing for you to get any value from weaker hands than your holding. I do figure 4-bet pre is the play against villain in the long run. With holdings I want to play in EP I have been limp calling against this villain, it underwreps some of my hands but it stops a pot being hugely bloated OOP.
