5/10/25 PLO bad Kings OOP (2 Viewers)

Since I would have called initially, with the following action I would have gotten it in pre. All ranges but the action player's are capped (non-AAxx) and against him I like even weaker kings. But yes, variance.

If I was going to call the $100 pre I think it needs to be with the intention of shoving over crazys raise to isolate for stacks

But someone else could be trapping there knowing his style waiting in the weeds as well

Yes, against heavy action (likely aces) after crazy raises I would have folded. Relative position works in our favor. Of course $100 is a lot of money to risk, but then again it's just 4x Rock, and the upside could be huge. And if for some weird reason crazy doesn't repop, I'm happy to just set mine. I don't hate the fold, just think it's a bit nitty.

The problem is my hand just isn't strong enough. I don't want to call 1/6th of my stack OOP against multiple players after he repops to 500

It's possible he repops it even bigger

But aside from the very perfect flop I would have gotten, most flops I will whiff and be unable to continue, the structure of my hand is too weak

As others said, I'm essentially playing half a hand. Why do that in a 4 card game OOP to boot with players that will put you in difficult spots? It's lighting money on fire imo

Well who does?

Right fold, wrong time

Don't let yourself think that way. If the fold is right, there is no such thing as "the wrong time."

If you play Q962 rainbow you flop quads sooner or later, doesn't make it a good hand.

Hero folds. Crazy repops to $500 and gets FOUR callers cause, you know, everyone has a $500 hand

I misjudged you. My sincerest apologies.

Flop equity distributions don’t matter when you’re all in pre. But I get it, hero wants a low variance game and prefers to wait for a 60% edge against crazy. The difference is I’d take a 55% edge all day every day. Neither is even close to a sure thing though, so you want to have a few rebuys available. Since that’s not the case, prolly time to just move to another table.
