PLO Bluff w/nut blocker, facing HUGE c/r otr?

DOHHHHHHH

i love it i really do, unlucky not to get a fold there i think, I remember just yesterday i tried this and shoved the turn only to find my opponent had the straight flush lol. I think you have to fold as you have repped the flush really well and the villain still has faith in what he is holding.

DOHHHHHHH

Surely whatever he has, he's turning it into a bluff here?

My line on the turn is 100% because I have the Ace of diamonds btw, I'm not raising my top 2 for value. I figured I could get him off a flush with 2 streets.

And if I house up, bonus, value town.

Thoughts?

To me 2 pair doesnt look that good on that board, im checking river.

unless you know someone is capable of folding a flush i wouldnt bluff the river.

i think its a check on the river, also i dislike the turn play because your plan failed. average players at that level wont fold any flush!

Id flat turn and check river. but im a passive donk.

what I really dont get is you think he will fold a flush on an unpaired board, but when you river an K or Q you think you can take him to valuetown on a paired board?

Play very little plo but not sure your average 20PLO villain folds any flushes so dont think I like it

  In the opening post you say you have the nut flush blocker. The basic problem with this is the line you took throughout the hand. The preflop raise is standard and meaningless but then you check the flop. The point of your blocker is to show strength at the right times to get people to fold.If you had flopped the nut flush draw then you would have c-bet that flop and carried it through the streets.

  By checking the flop and then firing out on the turn and river then you are showing either a set/ weak flush or even TJ. For this reason anyone holding second or even third nut flush is going to hit you on the river because of the lack of strength you have shown.You need to think not only about the cards you are holding but the betting patterns you have shown. I am not sure what this guy is holding( but guessing medium to high flush) but your line kept telling him that his hand was good and allowed the c/raise on the river. It is possible that he would not have folded even a weak fd but you will never know because you played the line you did.

 The main thing in any form of the game when bluffing is to tell a consistent story throughout the streets.Yours in this hand was not and you got burnt for it.As played you have to fold that river, but personally i would have checked it down instead of bluffing at it.
