650BB PLO pot tyvm

In PLO, it's common to see 2 opponents get their chips in on the flop. And although it will sometimes be a case of one player having a dominating hand (set over set) or draw, it seems more common to find the equities on the flop to be in the neighborhood of 50/50 or 60/40 (usually a draw vs. a made hand). Both opponents take aggressive lines on the flop, hoping there's a faint chance off having some fold equity - ultimately, neither is making a very big mistake equity-wise by getting it all in.

But while it can be fine to jam it in on the flop, odds and equities can change significantly and make it a mistake to apply the same blind aggression on the turn. You can induce these mistakes by taking a less aggressive line on the flop with a plan to jam the turn if a safe (blank) card peels off. At low stakes, this is most commonly observed when someone flops a nut straight with no redraws and, facing aggression, waits for a safe turn to get it in. The hand I played here is an example of another good spot to wait until the turn to turn up the heat...

This was the biggest PLO pot I've won by a good margin (all at 25PLO).

Full Tilt Pot-Limit Omaha, $0.25 BB (6 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com
Hero (Button) ($99.83)
SB ($32.05)
BB ($24)
UTG ($47.21)
MP ($36.41)
CO ($68.64)
Preflop: Hero is Button with Q, K, Q, A
2 folds, CO bets $1.15, Hero calls $1.15, SB calls $1.05, BB calls $0.90

Flop: ($4.90) 7, Q, 2 (4 players)
SB checks, BB bets $1.25, CO raises to $5, Hero calls $5, 1 fold, BB calls $3.75

BB donks out small and CO raises, all very nice. Two factors make this a good spot to call instead of raising:
1) The board is dry, with no straights possible to come in on the turn
2) BB is very likely to call behind with a dominated hand. If I don't have the BB dominated, then they might both be on flush draws holding 2 of each other's outs.

The key here is to not freak out about the flush draw. If it gets there, then I should be able to make a simple evaluation of odds on the turn and fold if the action gets heavy. As always in PLO, it's nice to be in position.

Turn: ($19.90) 3 (3 players)
BB bets $17.80 (All-In), CO calls $17.80, Hero raises to $91.10, CO calls $44.64 (All-In)

Very blankish turn and BB ships it (fist-pump). With the call, it seems fairly obvious now that CO has a FD, so here I get him to make a questionable call for the rest of his deep stack.

River: ($162.58) 3 (3 players, 2 all-in)

River pairs the board and I rake the monsterpotten.

Total pot: $162.58 Rake: $3
Results:
Hero had Q, K, Q, A (full house, Queens over threes).
BB had 7, 8, 4, 2 (two pair, sevens and threes).
CO had A, 7, 5, K (two pair, sevens and threes).
Outcome: Hero won $159.58

This is a flop where a disciplined player may be able to let his hand go if repot it and he is holding just the naked flush draw. Or, he may call and have decent enough odds with 2 cards to come. But on this turn, it's pretty bad to call off an almost 200BB raise with one card to come.

Special thanks to the BB for making the horrendous PF call and bad turn ship with the janky 2-pair.
