Straight Flush
I’d like some thoughts on this hands preflop action.
The game is $1/2 ($5) bring in PLO. There are options to straddle wither UTG or on the button for either $10 or $15. Most hands have the straddle on from the button button, but sometimes UTG will do it instead.
I’m in the cut off with KKQ6cc ($2300 stack), James (agro Asian) is UTG and has on a $10 straddle ($1500) . Phil (decent casino reg, $800 stack) opens to $25, 3 calls to me, I decide to call, almost nobody is folding preflop (as we are about to see) and with the dangler the hand isn’t super strong. Do you think I should have put in the 3-bet?
The button and blinds all call the $25, then James makes it $200 to go. Every one calls to me. The button has a $10k stack and the blinds also both cover me, but not by much. The rest of the field has at least $1k to $1500 or so behind and are at least decent players, all casino regs.
I’d hate to 4 bet and be up against AAxx, and I hate to call and have the button or blinds put in a 4-bet expecting James to raise his straddle as he usually does, especially with all of the trapped money in the pot now.
Should I raise, call, or fold?
Edit to fix straddle
