RunItOnce - €0.10 PL Hi (6 max) - Omaha Hi - 4 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

Hero is BU.

CO: 212.6 BB
BTN: 142.4 BB
SB: 199.9 BB
BB: 231.7 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) BTN has T♣ 6♥ Q♣ K♥

fold, BTN raises to 3.5 BB, fold, BB calls 2.5 BB
Thoughts:

Spoiler

6 is meh-connected, but I thought it was enough to play in position

Flop: (7.5 BB, 2 players) 8♦ A♥ 2♥
BB checks, BTN bets 5.4 BB, BB calls 5.4 BB
Thoughts:

Spoiler

Do I have a range advantage here even from BU? I look at this board and it seems dry-ish to me. Apart TP and rare low rundowns, I don't see much going on here...
Well, I cbet like I had an A. After that, I m putting villain in a toppair. Anything better (or a combo draw) would had raised me, I guess.

Turn: (18.3 BB, 2 players) 5♠
BB checks, BTN checks
Thoughts:

Spoiler

I don't truly believe that 5 completes something. It may open more draws and maybe some 2 pairs.
Now the question is: if villain has a 1 pair hand, would I be able to make him fold it on this turn or on the river, if I don't hit my flush?
I find hard to make people fold their top pair/overpair or 2pair holdings in HU :f_cry:

River: (18.3 BB, 2 players) Q♦
BB checks, BTN checks

Spoiler

BB shows J♠ J♥ A♣ T♠ (One Pair, Aces)
(Pre 52%, Flop 53%, Turn 75%)
BTN mucks T♣ 6♥ Q♣ K♥ (One Pair, Queens)
(Pre 48%, Flop 47%, Turn 25%)
BB wins 17.5 BB

Not sure why this hand isn't answered yet. Anyway as PLO fish I would most likely play the hand the same.
I don't think a 2nd barrel is to profitable against a unknown.

Cheers,

steal preflop is good.
flop cbet is good because you get many pairs to fold that are not top pair.
checkback turn i like because top pair or better wont fold and you want to improve with weaker flushdraw.
checkback river is fine because after checkback turn your percieved range isnt very strong so bluffing wont have much success

That hand is good enough even from UTG 6handed imo. I would bet turn if we had any support with fd like gutshot. I would think we can get at least some portion of Axxx to fold by barreling on big side. No point to bluff river as we could also win some portion of time.

I wonder what sort of hands we should be triple barreling on this runout as bluff? E.g. if we have strong drawing hand on turn it will be blocking lot of draws from villain which is not ideal. Well I suppose if we bet turn and block e.g. Q it would be decent one as AQ would be less likely for villain.

I could see myself bluffing turn and/or river against a lot of opponents that are weak against riverbets. We credibly rep AQ, QQ and the occasional slowplay of all kinds while he most likely doesn't have a8 or better since he doesn't raise the flop, doesn't bet river and we block AQ. His range consists of a lot of Ax that we mostly get to fold if we put in a bet. Weak 2pair like 82, 85 also have a really hard time calling. It is also a good situation for notetaking if he calls with top pair or weak 2pair and you can valuetown him later and stop bluffing him. So, would prefer a riverbet here against people that I don't already know as stations
