Betting small is worst option.
Should rip a % and check/call a %
Have to also be ripping bluffs tho.
Your hand isn’t strong enough to get 3 streets and 200+ bb unless you super polarize your range.
My thought process was that my image looked like I’m ready to send myself home (it was 4am), I’ve shown down big bluffs already, both flush draws missed, I rarely have a 2 here, and button is an intelligent player who could call me down light given all that info. So I ripped. Well I actually bet full pot, which I thought might make it look more like a bluff that could get a little discount if it didn’t work out instead of going all in. Then had to cry call his all in for a few hundred more. Jc2c. ooof
Doing some studying and came across this. While it comes from a chapter about PLO8, I think it has some relevance to PLO high.
One concept does stand out in this game and, for that matter, in all games where equities run close. This is the idea that you maximize your profit by getting players to fold when they had enough equity to call, or when you can steal another player’s pot share in a multi-way pot by pricing them out and getting the pot heads-up or generating folds.
In loose games, whether big bet or fixed limit, I think this often involves waiting for later streets to bet. For example, in a loose limit hold em game, there are spots to make money by letting someone else have the betting lead so that you can charge the field a double bet on the turn instead of bloating the pot earlier and making it easier and more correct for them to chase to the river.
In a pot limit game your bet is relative to the pot on all streets. Waiting just changes to spr and real dollar value.
A lot of pros around here wait until the turn to pile in with one way hands like naked top set. Pretty standard imo
Right but this isn’t to get them to fold equity. It’s to be one card less for them to realize equity. Important difference. You are waiting for a safe card to pile right.
You’re denying equity to draws willing to get it in on the flop to realize all of their equity, forcing them to face a turn bet on the turn which they might not have odds to call, so they call with bad odds or fold and forfeit their equity. Getting them to fold there when you have the nuts isn’t a bad outcome and sometimes you don’t have the nuts and they fold getting the right odds against your specific hand. I feel like the last case is how I make money more than getting it in with small edges that some people think PLO is about
I played the nightly $40K on Ignition Saturday and there were 14 re-buys in the first 15 minutes and my first thought was maybe Rampage was playing.
Lol people who get mad because you check-raise in PLO.
AAJ7ds in MP. $10 straddle. I limp. Straddle makes it $60. 2 callers. I pot to $310. Straddle and one other call. Flop is K25ddc give us NFD and BDNFD. Guy ships $500. Other guy calls short. I call (cover).

Just saw an $11K pot at 1/2/5 PLO. Heads up. Lol
I once saw a $10k pot at my local casinos $1/2 game.
Might have been 1/3 that night, but either 400 or 600 max, game starts at maybe 6 pm and casino would close at 3 am. Hand was at like 9 pm. No running it twice.

We used to play 1/2/5 $500 max at a shit hole in the middle of nowhere. Would start Thursday afternoon and play until early Saturday. Once saw a guy get stuck 7K and end up 6K winner. We played 40 hours straight or some shit.
