Pot is so big, if he is willing to call $4, he will call $10 just as fast. Bet $10.

Fold to the BB's reraise preflop. 1/5th of your stack is way too much to play for set value out of position.
-
MTT variance is such a bitch. I have over 100 MTTs in my spreadsheet now, and was about even until the last couple weeks when I made a good score of just over $2000 in a $10 tourny. Just keep playing them, grind it out and hope your luck comes at the right times.

OP played it fine. BBFIDTS ;)Really though, you got a good chunk of your stack in preflop with kings, what more can you ask for? If he was a donk with A4 offsuit and the flop came Axx, would you still make this post?
-
No hand all in preflop is a bad beat in PLO.
-
The only hand we're afraid of here is KQ. JJ, 87 and Q8 don't really fit the action at all. I push here because a good draw like Qdxd is going to call and I don't want to play guessing games if an 8, Q, K or diamond comes on the turn.
-
I heavily emphasize the luck factor in my home games, whether I win or lose. People know I play seriously, but I catch zero flak for it.
-
2nd nut straights could routinely be layed down in heads up PLO. Flushes less so, boats never.
-
Usually just lead. With 5 people taking that flop someone with AAxx or even a weak 5xxx won't likely bet for you (let alone call a check-raise). Lead and hope to get a call from a weaker 5.We don't really want to end up giving a very costly free card if someone hits their ace with A5xx or their pocket pair on the turn.
-
Poor odds and not closing the action with a call make this an easy flop fold.
-
Looks good. Rope-a-dope/stack a donk for the win.
-
This is a worse flush almost never.
-
Yeah I three bang this preflop (especially since we are out of position). That is one nasty flop. We're only really beating a badly played 88, 99 or AQ. Sure we have 10 outs against a set of 10's through Q's, but we're out of position with no implied odds and no fold equity. I probably just fold since we still have a good amount of chips left.

No worries, the good thing about PLO is that you can make a pretty boneheaded blunder preflop and still be in good to great shapeI fully agree with your whole post KH. That was sorta my thought RIGHT after the hand, and why I posted it. The ak analogy was what was going through my head while playing the hand, then when I actually thought about it more in depth thought holy fk - that was not the brightest move.
Gotta have some gambooool... Avoiding tilt when your aces get cracked is important though.

If you just call his reraise preflop, the pot is about $6 and less than a pot bet+raise away from all in. If he bets pot (he has to act first) he won't be folding very often no matter what the flop.Just calling preflop allows us to re-evaluate on the flop. Sure there are lots of combo draws that we can hit and will get all in with, but there are some nasty flops (ie Axx, 22x through 99x, all red cards, etc) where we will be glad we aren't committed already.My only thought process here was that he's obv on aces. There are SO many hands that hit mine postflop that I'm probably not getting away from it anyways, with him being so short SO - I might as well try and get him committed preflop and not give HIM a chance to get off his hand. Does that theory make any sense? I was hoping for the basic AAxx, maybe single suited, hopefully red. Anyone have a good odds calc to figure that out?
40% equity isn't all that good considering near random (trash, but playable) hands have 30%ish equity against aces. This number also falls quickly if he has other big cards or one of our flush draws.The AK analogy also doesn't hold because part of the value of AK in Hold'em is that there is fold equity when we push against the low and mid pairs. Against AAxx (even KKxx for some guys) they are the ones glad to get it all in against us.Found one. 60/40, sorta like having AK v unders.ResultsOmaha Hi: 1086008 enumerated boardscards .... win %win lose %lose tie %tie EVQs Ts Kc Qc 442997 40.79 643011 59.21 0 0.00 0.4088c Ad 2d Ah 643011 59.21 442997 40.79 0 0.00 0.592 -
Someone has T8xx here quite often, but not often enough for you to fold with the current 2nd nuts and nut redraw.

Bet small on the turn because flush/straight draws will call and be drawing dead. Checking lets them get a free look at the river and then not put any more money in the pot if they miss.

Results orientated much? At the later stages of a tournament (especially 6handed right before the final table) you're going to have to win flips to get enough chips to make a run for first. AQ is a monster 6 handed, since the only hands that you don't want an opponent to have against you are AK and QQ+.That said, remember the immortal words of... uhh... me : Anytime you are dealt AJ or AQ near a major money jump in a MTT, and you are still in the tournament on the next hand, you've played the hand correctly. Otherwise you have played the hand poorly. -
I'd bump this up more preflop since there are already 2 callers and we're out of position. I like $1.50 better. As for the river, I probably call as played.
-
You can't be afraid of quads. Raise because it looks like someone has a 4 and will pay you off.
-
Shove and then cry when shown AQ/QQ.
-
Tough spot. He could be a complete donkey in that he throws his money away by calling, but only ever raises strong hands (this seems very common). If he was an aggro bluffing donk, I suspect we'd have seen a raise somewhere in that T9 hand. I suspect that we are beat, but can't see folding the flop.
-
Shovel flop! That is a huge draw heads up.EDIT: I thought you had 2 clubs for a flush draw as well as your straight draw. I think you played it fine.

There are far fewer major donks online than at the casino. Casino 1-2 NL you'll see 5-6 people to a flop with a 10x BB raise. Online people are way tighter, nittier and tougher. A 1-2 NL live plays a lot like online microstakes (ie, 0.05/0.10 blinds NL).
