2 Plo hands, same villain (1 Viewer)

[onerand]

I played poorly most for the session but sometimes the donkey survives. $1 and $2 blinds, $5 to go.

Villain is a loose passive lady, running well and covers table. We've played a few small pots where I usually came in second. She ran a big semi bluff once with blockers that got through agaianother. Not much else to add.

Hand 1
We are effectively 6 handed and I have been opening wide. Most aggressive by far but stuck.

I open T776 with two diamonds to 15 and only Villain calls on the big blind. About 400 effective left.

Flop is T83 with one diamond. Vlain checks. Action? I bet 25 and she raises to 75. Action? I called.

Hand 2, maybe 20 minutes later. 600 effective.

6 or 7 handed. I open KK63 to 15 first in, tight guy with 300 calls (so tight passive he does not matter), villan makes it 45 on button and we both call.

Flop is 632 rainbow. I check planning to check raise. Fail.

Turn is Qc. Second club. I don't have clubs. I check planning to check call. Fail.

River is a red 6. I check planning to check raise.

Hand 1 seems like a very loose call to me.

Hand 2 I'm probably betting out for value around $60ish.

Not sure what's being asked here, if anything?

Is this just a recount of two hands, or are you asking for feedback?

If you're asking for feedback..

Both hands played odd imho. That is to say, they might have been played ok for "someone", but I'd have never played them like that. Granted, I'm no exbert on PLO. So who cares what I think.

Generally question marks indicate that someone is seeking a response. Sort of how I'm responding to you.

For example here, no question mark. So I'm not going to assume you actually want to know who cares.

Hand 1: I don't mind the open and I don't mind the flop bet, but when a loose passive fish raises in that spot I think you have to just lay it down and move on.

Hand 2: I like the check raise line versus button 3-bet on the flop. Turn I would prob do the same. River again same.

Hand 1 I fold pre cuz the diamonds prolly suck. Agree with Butler if loose passive raises, eject.

Hand 2 I like the open although proceed cautiously with ugly danglers. Flop I check call, not looking to play a big pot for stacks if it blows up. Same line on turn. River I like the check/raise plan. If we're beat it's a cooler. Could also lead vs an ABC opponent but would be a sick spot if behind and tough to get away.

Hand 1 - hard to say whether the open is loose or not as position not disclosed. On the button obv good open.

I would probably check back the flop as when you get raised you kind of don't know what to do with your hand. You have some showdown value you block the bad end of the wrap draw but not the top. As the hand develops you have some blockers that can be used to turn your hand into a bluff on later street and for his you will want more stack to pot leverage not less.

I also think bet folding is fine vs passive opponents but I prefer my line above.

Hand 2 - open is fine. Flop i think check raise is suicide unless you are planning it vs someone that will get it in with a hand as light as JJ67 with a back door flush draw. Otherwise you are going to be in a fair amount of trouble.

I think both cbet and check call are solid lines vs different player types.

Turn is good and river I would opt to lead. Hand is played fairly passive you want to get value from some 2 pair hands and bare 6x hands.

Thank you all for answering my questions.

Hand 1, I felt like a clown when checkraised. This indicates I should check the flop. But it was only 50 more and I called, planning to jam on a T 9 or 7, which is thin but whatever. It may be Villain was owning me and cutting me piece by piece over 3 streets. Turn was the 5d and I wasn't going anywhere and called 150. Of course I rivered a black 4.

Hand 2, we have a huge flop in a 3 bet pot. 54 and 22 are so unlikely it would be a cooler. Maybe a turn lead is better, not sure. Villain bet 75 on river. I made it 200 but she folded.
