Villain is a generally solid player and aggressive. He has practically always bet when everyone else checks, and has raised preflop frequently. He's generally bet strong and marginal hands, and checked/called draws.

Cake hand histories don't convert perfectly, so here's a link (warning: includes results). I'll reproduce a HH below with my questions in bold.

Shorthanded 25/50 cent PLO, playing 5 handed
Hero: BB with $62.40
Villain: Button with $143.60

Hero dealt

Two folds, Villain raises to $1.75, SB folds, hero calls. [Seems marginal against a very aggressive player who has position, but not a huge mistake?]

Pot: $3.75
Flop:

Hero checks, Villain bets $3.75, Hero calls. [At this point I'm putting him on AA, KK, QQ, or JJ. I don't think he has a draw here, so I feel like my call is safe.]

Pot: $11.25
Turn:

Hero checks, Villain bets $11.25, Hero calls. [This is where I really have questions. Assuming he has a set + one or two of my straight outs I barely DON'T have pot odds, but I feel that he'll pay off a straight on the river.

Pot: $33.75
River: [One of my safe outs obviously.]

Hero checks, Villain checks. [I was REALLY surprised and of course disappointed that he checked behind. I figured he was putting me on a flush draw and would at least bet half the pot. Should I have bet here instead of trying to induce a bet? If so, how much?]


I'll hold off on posting results for now, even though it's almost immaterial.




Comments on preflop and flop welcome of course, but the turn is what I'm most interested in, as well as the river.

I remember you need 13 outs to make calling a pot sized turn bet heads up correct. If you are putting him on a made hand like a set, you have implied bluff outs on the river.

He thinks you are drawing so any 8,9,T,K,A can make a straight or any spade to bluff a flush. Since the scare card hit the river, you need to bet here. I think you should've bet any of the mentioned scare cards. Solid players more often fold good hands but not great hands, more than the average player.

You made your hand and you need to get value out of it. Bet half pot or so and hope that he calls you with a set. I don't think KK,AA calls here ever if you think he is a solid player.

seems like a solid villian and yah at least a donk bet hoping he sees it as a bluff on river need some value out of your straight you drawed to to compensate for the times you miss and check fold to a bet.

PS: if you were deeper i would have liked a 3-bet preflop but your not 150+ BB so you just were in a hard spot this hand is much easier in position

3bet TT9K from the BB? is this standard? I'm a PLO novice...

Oh, he had QQxx with no redraws, of course.
