Flop stack off looks a bit ropey I think.

We have no showdown value and aren't getting enough pot odds. We also c bet pot into two players so villain must surely give you some credit for a hand. I doubt he's doing this with a bare worse flush draw.

Don't like the flop action with a single draw. Can't see us ever getting this in ahead once we pot the flop. From my POV it looks like you overplayed your draw here.

I'd start by checking the flop.

PLO is a significantly more complicated game than holdem. Probably by a factor of 8 or so.

Firstly I would argue the hand is a fold pre. You have AK23ccss. This is beans (IMO). You block 2nd nut flushes, your 23s is likely dead, the wheel component of A23 is horrific. You get an AK5 board and are happy and that is kinda it for the hand.

I don't understand what you would be hoping to achieve by building a pot out of position with a hand that flops pretty terribly a lot of the time. Here you flop the nut flush draw and some (likely dead) over cards and get it in in what is one of the most optimistic spots you can have and you have a live nut flush draw.

This is also a terrible board for you hand in spite of the nut flush draw. There really is not a situation here where some aspect of their ranges have connected and will have you with maybe 35% on the flop.

I would suggest asking yourself about your decision to 1) play the hand pre 2) pot it out of position. Write a response addressing these two aspects of your decision making and I will be happy to reply and work forward from there.

Please also feel absolutely free to disagree with any part or all of what I have said here, but please do to forward the discussion and reply to the post.

You have a double suited hand with some nut components and are 3 betting pre .... some right ideas there sure Laugh
