I never know how to get the money in out of position. It worked out for me in this double-board PLO bomb pot hand from last night, but was it a good play?
It's a 15 bb pot going into the turn. Villain 1 has 133 bb stack, and Villain 2 has 115.
After a checked-through flop, I bet 1/2 pot from the small blind into five people with:
Kh-Kc-Tc-4c, on boards of:
Top: 8c-Jc-9c-4h and
Bottom: 7d-Ks-Td-Th,
giving me the second nuts on the top and the nuts on the bottom.
Fold, fold, fold, Villain 1 min raises, Villain 2 cold calls.
Call or raise?
I called. The rivers are a brick on the top and 8d on the bottom. I'm losing to A-x of clubs on the top board and the two straight flush combinations on the bottom. My goal is to get all the money in.
What would you do?
I block bet 7.5 bb, expecting a raise/never-fold. It went raise, call, I potted for 108 bb more, snap call, reluctant call, and I scoop. Villain 1 shows a straight and full house, Villain 2 mucks.
