PLO5 - 135BB effective, Blind vs blind 4 bet pot

I'd assume river is a standard fold as played; I don't have strong feelings about flop/turn but probably mostly OK. The sizings are just so small relative to pot, that it's hard for it be a big error, even if alternative lines might be better.

Check flop is probably better than small bet. And there is also a case for a larger flop bet so Hero can put the rest of his chips in on the turn. But most of the flop lines are going to be mostly math and memorization based. Solver probably finds some x/raises on flop and turn because of poor river playability.

4! pre seems fine.

I'm fine with pre. I don't bet the flop if I'm not going to continue on basically a blank turn. I probably fold river in game unless I have a read on the player or my gut is screaming at me to call. A good player can easily take control of this hand and be bluffing, but it's impossible to know from our computers.

I like flop cbet but would size up a bit. I know in 4b pots we do use some smaller cbet sizings but in this particular spot 1/3 works nicely.

Basically range cbet all paired boards that don't contain a paired broadway card (TT,JJ,QQ,KK,AA). We do start to have some healthy checks on these board pairing flops which makes sense given 3bettor's range almost always contains an A or strong rundowns that interact well enough.

Turn pot. Even at slightly higher than 100bb eff we can apply a ton of pressure to villain's draws as well as often take a very healthy equity share on this street. By checking we're basically allowing villain to play their range very easily imo. Also going to be an under attacked turn given population plays AA this way far too often imo.

Slightly shallower sim but shouldn't affect change decisions much. High lighted is basically an overview of our betting strategy postflop across similar boards. Only checking 17% roughly of paired flops in 5c (basically range cbetting
in 4c).

Think we have 2 to 1 SPR - think I'd just pot the flop. I mean really when you 4b it's probably obvious you have Aces - he can just play accordingly. A lot of our value comes from getting money in preflop - a 10 bb bet or a check is going to lead to a guessing game where a knowledgeable player can play knowing you prob have AA.

Nice post,thank you, though I am curious about how large a difference there could be between (q8)8 and (q9)9. It feels meaningful more dynamic to me, though it might not be as relevant depending on the specific solver configuration being used (and I understand the practically of not generating new solves for situations that seem comparable).

More specifically, hero can absolutely play a more aggressive strategy at 100-110bb than 135bb, and I think the presence of an open-ended straight draw (with 3 straight flush combos) also allows for more aggression than an inside wrap. The excess/orphan chips can also become more problematic.

Thanks for sharing.

very good analysis +1
what solver are you using for this? thx

This is just Vision and no sweat.
