hehe, the plague of all n00b uNL PLO players.
Villain is pretty tight, have not seen him do anything crazy. Have seen him get involved in 3/18 hands.
Hero is in SB with AsAcTs7c. Villain is in CO, and pots over a limper to 1.1. I re-raise to 2.5: I want to raise, but I don't want to jam the pot button with a hand that will likely be one-pair on the flop. Villain calls.
Flop: J 3 2 r. I check for two reasons:
1) I don't want to bloat the pot OOP.
2) I don't think I get the stacks in very often against anything other than top set?
<--------is this right? If not, should I be checking to c/r and get stacks in? Should I be betting about 3/4 pot?
Villain checks behind (5.5).
Turn: offsuit 6. I lead for 4, and villain quickly calls.
Here, I think I need to put some action in, cause I think that QQ/KK are paying me off now given my line.
River: 7 (13). Hero bets 4.75, and villain raises to 12.
Ouch, ouch, ouch. I wanted to put out a blocker bet that gets called by worse, but I just got owned. I think villain has KKxx and QQxx hands here, many of which could have made a str8. I don't really think a tight villain raises w/out a str8 here.
<----------------Bad, bad, bad? Check/fold here instead?

stay true to the pot button. you're missing a ton of value with double suited aces if you don't pot em and play em hard. play AAxx like you play 5678 or so.
flop is such a clear bet if you had 3bet bigger preflop. however, i think you should bet the flop regardless though. you're gonna get called by Jxxx a big part of the time and there's value in that. it's a flop that misses his range a whole lot, so pot it. if you have backdoor draws, it adds like 3 % equity or whatever. and if you have 2 backdoors, you suddenly have 6 % equity. you also have a backdoor straight draw. you can still make top set if an ace falls. flop is a bet tbh. if he raises the flop, he's probably got you beat (his range vs your hand, anyways). if he calls, he's got a wider range. he's more likely to call QQxx or KKxx than he is to raise it. he's more likely to raise hands that missed.
cbet flop. fold if raised. bet/folding is key in plo.
as played, you're doing the right thing on the turn. you want villain to fold here though. river is a pretty clear c/f (or c/c, given reads). you don't beat much now, and he's gonna check behind with any type of Jxxx hand a high % of the time.
