PLO200 3-way Spot

UTG (50bb) open, CO (120bb) call, I call in BB covering. Weird spot I came across here, I cannot use a HUD on this website but description of UTG is relatively tight player, CO loose/passive. Preflop - Feels like a punt to squeeze, hand carries too much EV to fold. (Calling range for CO spot vs 50bb open is supposed to be extremely tight but this player is a lot looser) Flop question - Check raise or check call vs loose/passive CO being over 100bb deep? -Debated XR to try & iso the short stack.. many combos that CO can still just call with on this board texture that we are well behind Result of hand in last two screenshots.

Idk if I wanna help you since we play in same pool hehe But hand is too disconnected to 3b. I think bottom of range is a hand like AK65 Good suits for a 3b Flop I think most the time bottom pair XR and gets it in, especially with the BDFD too Solvers in my experience like to go crazy with bottom pair and play a lil more passive with top and middle with draws attached.

What hand do you want to have here?

6-max PLO25 all 100bb deep UTG pots, CO calls, folds to you and you're sitting in the BB 1) What hand would you like to have here ? 2) What is the minimum hand you'd call with ?

I think trainer would be good to drill this spot. The concept you need to understand is in the PLO 30 day Lite course called “Why We 3bet” There are 3 reasons to 3b. Value Bluff aka force better hands to fold Playability Study why we 3b and then you will inherently see which category each hand falls into. As far as PLO25, once you identify which type of hand does what, you can decide in your games if exploitatively, you need to reduce one category of hands while increasing others due to population tendencies.

Maybe too aggressive?

https://www.pokerstarsreplayer.com/hands/7bfceaa73c I shoved after the the sb 4 bets with a short stack on the button, I guess I should have just called and seen the flop?

Without fold equity we just call. We only jam if we think we can get folds some of the time I’d imagine. For example if he’s capable of folding AKK6 or something like that.

Getting squeezed with aces.

Is there any merit to flatting in this spot vs a good reg to keep in the very loose player on the button? I know that it is a standard 4-bet in theory, but pushing out the lag in order to flip against the pro doesn't seem like a great play.

I don’t think the BTN will lose enough bb/100 while IP to you to overcome the EV you are losing by not 4b and taking this hand multi-way as monkey in the middle.

BTN is an aggressive reg with a wide opening range. Do we like to db, x/c or x/r?
