Phil's Deep 3/6PLO

Discussion for Phil's Deep 3/6PLO.

I have a question, about a hand on table 1. You called pre flop in BB with AKQ8hh, against button open and SB 3bet. Assuming both players should have wide ranges, can a 4bet be a better line in that spot?

Hi Phil, quick question about one of the last hands, namely the one on the top left, where SB (the limp-caller from another hand) 3bets you OOP and pots the two-tone flop where you have a wrap with Q985dd. You explain that if you bluff turn, then you should probably commit to a bluff on the river, given that he has a lot of hands that can call one bet in his range. I agree with this, but what do you think of the line, check back turn and bluff non board-pairing rivers if checked to? I like this line as (1) he will often bet his (good) flushes on the river, saving you money on a bluff (as in the actual hand) and (2) your line looks credible, as you would probably play this way with a small flush (right?), not expecting to get two streets of value. The question becomes, I guess, whether villain can fold two pair or sets, when we take this line (I think yes, but could be wrong).

acehole - check back turn and bluff river is a very good option. Maybe better on average. I like to mix my bluffs up between the two. Your logic is all very good.

As far as betsize, I don't think it is a very big deal as long as it's on the larger side (60-100% pot), and it's consistent with your value lines.

Nave- I considered all 3 options at the time. I think it's easily playable v a weak opponent, and likely still playable against an average one. I think I should've called. You don't mind this hand going multiway, even though it feels like you don't want it to.

Hi Phil, thanks a bunch for another great video ! I was thinking maybe you could touch a bit on BR management in one of your videos or maybe make one of those philosophy videos on the subject (even though i guess it isnt really philosophy). Would love to hear someones thoughts who has been around for as long as you have on moving up in todays games, NLHE vs PLO, swings of both games etc, would really appreciate it. I actually wrote a bit longer post on the same subject in the 5-10nl vid you made not too long ago that i hope wasnt as rambly as this one ...

take ur time to do the next video,we still paying anyways...................

A concept video would be nice for the next one, like all hands being the preflop raiser in position with the caller having checked the flop, or all hands getting 3 bet oop.
