PLO cash game, tricky spot. (1 Viewer)

[Marius L]

As played I would elect to call:

If your read is that a raise will not fold out any of your villains, you will be stuck out of position, in a bloated pot, with a hand that is difficult to play multiway.

If a player raises behind, it's an easy jam.

You are a 10% favorite against middling double suited wraps (8c7c6h5h)
You are a 15% favorite against double suited broad way draws (AKQJ10)
And killing pretty much everyone else.

Pretty bad spot on the flop if you cold call IMO.

You end up OOP vs two players in a pretty big pot where most flops are probably pretty bad for you, unless you flop an ace. The only decent thing to hope for if you call is that the short stack shoves, so that you can get it all in pre. You say you are in good shape against most other hands, but the problem is how to play the hand post flop, regardless of your villains' hands. I doubt they will both just check it down to the river.

One of the hardest parts of PLO is realizing your equity. There are many times when I watch shows like Live at the Bike and hand has 40% or more equity fold because they don’t know which of their outs are clean and which will cost them their stack if they hit.

My original post was regarding preflop action facing $10 straddle.

Facing $100 bet from OMC:

A. If properly rolled for the game, EZ jam.
OMC’s range is pretty narrow, mostly KKxx, QQxx and double suited broadway draws.
You have A & J blockers, and probably highest raw equity. I’d ship it and avoid playing post flop.

B. Nit fold and look for a less volatile spot

Poor Position; I fold this. Better hands are right around the corner. People see 2 aces and freak out.........
