2/2 Live - GII or flat the river?

2/2 live PLO with ~$1600

We are in sb with QQT7cc (no spade)

There are 2 decent players at the table, both are pretty tight and to my immediate left. Huge fish fill the rest of the seats.

There is a $10 btn straddle. Sb blind raises to $20, hero call, mp, LP, CO, BTN call.

Flop ($120) Q98ssc
Checks to MP, MP bets $75, folds to hero, hero calls

MP is a huge fish. Loses almost every week. We have a lot of history together. He will bet things like 2 pair + bad flush draw, the straight with no redraws, etc. Doesn't mean he can't have a monster though. He has about 7k in front of him, on a heater. Playing almost every hand.

Turn ($270) Jc giving us bdfd
Hero check, V check

River 9x
Hero $270, V pots to $1080, hero? I had $1500ish before my bet.

Do we just rip it for the extra $420 or call?

Vs bad players we don’t need to balance or play in flow. Just pot turn into him; even if he has KT we’re fine. If he has a straight or set we are crushing.

As played I just call river.


What Omaha wrote are my thoughts, too.


Agree with OmahaDonk regarding potting turn.

On the river I think you have to get it in. Even fish (or perhaps "especially fish") take full note that you just called with top full house. This could cost you significantly in that it may cut down on the action he (and the other fish in the game) gives you in the future.

In addition a fish could be raising with a queen/nine or even worse full house given the previous action heads up.

Agreed with what you are saying.

In theory: can we lead this turn for a small sizing?

We won’t be able to get lots of value on any river except a board pair so we should get the max on the turn while we have a lot of equity.
