PLO - Did I play this right? (1 Viewer)

[HanShot1st]

PLO .25/.50 online
$72 in front of me, up about $22 on about 2 hrs into this session. Get dealt A4s57c villain makes it 1.50 which he has done all night. Extremely LAG player who's been getting lucky about half the time, very raise heavy player. Folds to me I call. Heads up. Flop comes out Jd 37s. Villain raises 2. I pot it, villain calls. Turn comes out 6s, I hit my nut flush. Villain checks. I pot it, villain repots I go all in he calls. River pairs the board with a 6. Villain wins. 33366 for a full house. He called/raised me with bottom set, and gets lucky on the river with the paired 6.

Now I know that PLO is almost never over until the river, but I think I got my $$ in good. Should I have played this differently?

6s on the flop and turn? and another 6 on the river? Online poker is rigged!

Well, the 6 paired on the turn, so.....

Hard to beat quints.

Ok, I am remembering this wrong, the 6s came on the turn, there was no 6 earlier. The 6 paired on the river giving him a full house. As he had pocket 3s and there was a 3 on the flop, it had to be a different spade on the flop

I don't care for the potting on the flop... I think starting hand is too one dimensional... flush and bottom straight is the likely result. maybe this is a fold pre... maybe against LAG as you describe it is a call.

I def feel I played this too aggressively. If I would have gone with a little pot control I might have been able to call to the river relatively cheaply and see the river and that I was beat before committing my chips. I feel I let my made hand rule me versus determining what my opponent had and being cautious

Pre, sure call
Flop, definitely raise. We can quibble about the exact amount, I might do 3/4 instead of full pot, but you definitely want to raise.
Turn, bet the nuts, as big as you think will get a call, and be happy to get it in here.

Scared play is always a mistake in plo. When your hand has value, bet it and bet it hard.

I often advocate for a more snug strategy in PLO, so I'm not averse to taking that line here against the right opponent, but against an "extremely LAG player" as described in the OP I think this is a pot/get it in all day and all night on the flop and (obv) on the turn. Gutshot/2nd pair/nut flush draw is the nuts versus this guy's range.

@OP, too bad the river paired, but you should be playing this hand as aggressively as possible after the flop imo and so you played it exactly correctly.

Without running the numbers, my gut says those decisions were +EV. Wouldn't have played the hand any different.

Played fine

You got all your money in with the nuts. This is what I hope for. Well played.
