Probably a super standard PLO spot that confuses me.
I'm still rubbish at this so go easy.... Is the turn here pretty much a check fold? As I have a low set, alot of my FH outs are taken away, I'm not gonna be chuffed getting it in if I make an under-housse. Is this a simple check fold? And 100% check/call with top or 2nd set? I'm copps, thnx *** HOLE CARDS ***Dealt to…

have to call?????
firstly should i have raised more pre, maybe 600? once i raise the flop (how was the size of my raise, good? bad?) and get shoved on surely i must call or do i let it go???? i had been on the table with the villain for about 30 mins and his flop play was often aggressive. i'm unsure what to think of the raise, a flopped…

Super LAG PLO @ lower limits......
It seems to me that the better players at lower PLO limits, (10/25c and 25/50c, not mega micros) are really tight and straight forward. Obviously theres lots of fish too..... Is there any room for a novice (such as myself) to take a really aggressive approach to a PLO25 table and try and run the table over? I had a go on…

Bottom set.....
I've been told on a number of occasions to be prepared to go bust in a set over set situation and indeed I cant remember the last time I was crushed that way.

Reasons not to play 9-7 off.
Having had AA cracked by 9/7 I noticed that there seemed to be a growing trend to playing it. Whether this is how not to play it, an example of it being badly played or a reason not to play it at all I'm not sure. He had been doing it quite often until he got a big slap and left the table. Any comments gratefully received.…
