plo20 - This is a x/r spot right?

20plo - 8 handed w/straddle - club wpt gold

H limps in +1 w/AAK6
+2(49/8) limps eff 45bb
+3(78/10) pots eff 300bb
we both call

3way pot 50bb
Flop 65Q
+2 jams for 25bb
+3 snap calls
Hero??

This is a x/r spot right? Or just a call? or even a fold?
If we get called, what to do on blank turns?
On spade turns?
straight turns we check/fold?
Higher than T turns?

You are folding some unknown amount of equity, but I think I just fold flop without reads. You are still OOP vs. the snap call.

Even if you bluff spades you'll have to showdown 100% of the time.

Maybe fine to call due to their being a dry side pot, if you can make the assumption that V won't bluff (as much).

You have a lot of bad blockers, deep snap call V who raised pre. can't have NFD and is less likely to have KK ... so Qs seems very likely.

Would assume raising is the worst option, you'd need to hit a spade on the turn and then pot again ... and hope V folds.


Honest question

Why do you continually limp and just flat strong hands then ask how to play them in lines that are suboptimal?

If you limp 3! This hand or just opened it and were able to 4b you would have much easier decisions in the optimal lines

This isn’t trash.

Trash aces are trip aces and then rainbow aces where all are disconnected. So think AA72 and AA93.

In this setup this isn’t really 200bbs either due to straddle and open sizings. Don’t slow play AA less than 120-150bb.

Eh, all AAXY hands can flop a straight.
Only some 22/33XY hands can’t. AAK6r is certainly much stronger than AA72r but it’s still 3/4 rainbow trash, especially utg.


So wait, this is actually just 3 blind 40plo so eff bb is 50% of what's posted? Just pfr this hand regardless of 150 or 300bb...there's really no reason to limp call or limp rr

As played I'd just fold flop
