Vs two players, are we ever good on river here? We are up against flush and straight draw for sure and maybe a set.
River A or 9 and I won't even think about it but here the T9 and AT hit and I'm not sure how many that would pot river here with T9.

Anyway, this spot is vs two unknown. Is it better to make a blocking bet or do we always check?

Hi,

PLO 5 I would likely b/f, since they would very likely call me down with two pair+ worse sets and I dont´have to guess if someone is bluffing. Making it 2.3$ should be enough to get called worse hands

best regards,

Bet/folding is a fine choice heads up.

It's a little tougher to do 3 handed for a couple of reasons.

Firstly I would expect anyone with a weaker made hand to raise the flop after your half pot cbet and maybe even the turn instead. This makes me think that both opponents are on a draw.

With both opponents likely on a draw, we're going to put one on a flush draw and one on a straight draw. It wasn't an obvious straight hitting the turn but hands like A :club:T :club: or QT9 are definitely possible (though even a nut flush draw might well raise this flop).

It's also worth noting that this is a zoom table, where players are a little bit tighter so I don't mind check/folding the river in this spot since it's a lot harder to bluff here 3 handed and other players have to expect that you're calling at these limits.

What do you think of the flop bet sizing? I'd definitely bet bigger on the flop which sets up a bigger bet on the turn.

Flop bet sizing is fine, I would expect anyone who has a nut draw of some sort to raise such a bet which is what you want with top set...

Hmmm, not sure about inducing as I don't think you're getting raised all that often by people with draws at PLO5. Especially Zoom. IMO players are so passive they're more likely to call with a strong draw.

Well. I have about 30k hands on the limit now and I must say there's quite a few aggressive players who will raise nut flush and gut shot. All though, there's quite a few really passive players too.

I thought about it and most fishy players would call here, even with the 2 flush on board, with any QT9x and AQTx.

Heads up I would most likely go for bet/fold.
