PLO25 - non nut FH gets c/mr on river

This villain is from my top 2 pair hand I posted. As I mentioned, he is playing 75/25 (this hand is after the other but I won't post what he had yet).

We flop a beauty and the turn gets even sexier, is this a fold to the c/mr? (It's the first time I'd seen him do this)

that flop is OK, but this hand is like A9 in hold' em and flopping an Ace, you either win a small pot, or lose a big one.

trips gets smooth called in 2 places on flop, ALARM ALARM ALARM. Most of the time one of them has 88. I check the turn and see what he does, if he checks behind I check to him again on the river and call any bet, If he bets I fold, I hate to do it, but thats PLO.

I think you're spot on with regards to bigger games but out of curiosity have you ever played $25PLO?

Very often. But the difference is you have no reads, no book on any of these opponents. Once oyu have that then you can deviate. Until you have some info, you need to treat a player as adequate imo.
