Did i get cheated on this PLO5 hand ?

Did i get cheated on this PLO5 hand ?

PL 5 Card Omaha 0.1(BB)

Dealt to Hero on BTN: T 2 A 8 J

HERO Raises To $0.35, SB Calls $0.30, BB Calls $0.25

Flop ($1.05): 5 T 4
SB Checks, BB Bets $0.80 (Rem. Stack: $9.05), HERO Calls $0.80 (Rem. Stack: $9.65), SB Calls $0.80 (Rem. Stack: $13.69)

Turn ($3.45): 5 T 4 J
SB Bets $3.45 (Rem. Stack: $10.24), BB Calls $3.45 (Rem. Stack: $5.60), HERO Calls $3.45 (Rem. Stack: $6.20)

River ($13.80): 5 T 4 J 5
SB Bets $4.70 (Rem. Stack: $5.54), BB Calls $4.70 (Rem. Stack: $0.90), HERO Folds

SB shows: 9 7 A 8 Q
BB shows: Q 6 7 8 9

SB wins: $22.95

GGPoker,both players are unknown to me,when i joined the table it was full and BB was already there,after someone left SB came in and then after around 12 minutes we were playing 3-handed.

One guy is from Russia and the other Israel,also i have footage of the hand and it took BB 4 seconds to call so i think missclick is unlikely.

What you guys think ? Am i overthinking or is it worth reporting to GG ? I would at least consider call not blocking wraps but when BB call i think my hand is pure fold.

Misclick is still the most likely explanation. But, if you are getting cheated, and you're 3-handed in 5cPLO, well, they'd have to be droolers and you Phil Ivey not to be losing, so pay attention to those spidey senses. Is there any significant cost to yourself to report them?


I think the most likely scenario is he misread his hand or doesn't know the rules and thought he had a straight... But you can definitely report, if there are a lot of fishy hands these players play, you never know.


I know small amounts of money are much larger in some countries, but if you were going to cheat, why would you do it in a $10 buyin game?


cheating seems pretty unlikely for this particular hand history, especially considering the bet sizing and card removal effects (villains have no pairs on board, only one A, and block each others pairs) mean Hero can/will call river a lot - it's not even that likely to be a profitable bluff


Thanks guys,I'm going to assume it was missclick and if i find these guys on the same table again keep an eye for anything suspicion.

While most players jam river with FH,isn't that uncommon to see lower bets sizes with the nuts on these stakes specially when villain block calls (something like JJ765 for example)


if SB and BB were colluding it probably does not make a lot of sense for SB to call flop, considering he shares 4 cards with BB.

I get that it looks goofy, but there are so many easier ways to collude 3-handed than the hand history suggests. Also it looks like both villains only have <100bb, if they were colluding one of them might have run up a stack or something when there were more players.

This. If they were cheating I'd just let them keep doing that.
