check again. call a small bet. IDK if I call pot, prolly not. 1/2 pot is close, I think i gotta try to hit a FH if we are both over 80bb+

bottom line; you are way too loose. you need much stronger hands to continue post flop. IDK why you bet your ace on the flop, considering most drawing hands have way more equity than you do (so its not a value bet), and they never fold (not a bluff).

also, if you check flop, and THEN are faced with a bet on turn (after you checked) ill easily call pot size bet.

also leading turn (after you checked flop) might have value. betting both streets is just overaggressive with a weakish hand.

IMO your drawing very thin when u shove in on turn.
keep these pots small man, you need stronger hands.

I am no pro, but I have been playing PLO lately more than usually. 6max PLO100 capped, PLO50 6 max, PLO100 FR, PLO200 FR, I think i even played a few orbits of PLO400 FR.

My play is very weak PF in the uncapped games. I do a lot of limping, a lot of calling in and out of position if the effective stacks are over 75bb. I'll try to keep my PFR raises limited to hands where all 4 cards are working.

IMO the BIG leaks come post flop though. U gotta fix that first. I'm still get used to post flop, all I can say: play very tight, and play your good draws w/ confidence, your non nut draws must be played with caution.

PLO on average plays 2x bigger than NLHE in terms of average pot size and also has much higher variance.
I think you shouldconsider learning at PLO25 if your clueless.

But the players are considerably worse^^^

It's an easy game up to the $100 limit, after that the players get better and a little harder to read. I played almost exclusively PLO for close to a year, and found the $25 and $100 games the most profitable, for some reason the $50 games have better players.

The key to the game is pre-flop betting (assuming you know to play the nuts post-flop). Dependant on your opponents play you need to either be hyper aggressive/a limp re-raiser/and even a calling station.

If you have 1 or 2 loose aggros you need to be limping or min-raising, hope they pop it, get a couple of calls from players who realize they are loose, then you can repop it and either take down a good pot or get heads up with someone with dead $$$ in the pot.

If you have a bunch of stations you need to be popping it pre-flop. Make them pay to chase post flop.

If you have stations and a couple of tight nits you need to be calling raises and looking to stack off someone post-flop.

I find the key to the game is adjusting to the players pre-flop tendencies, and being able to switch gears from hand to hand.
