Results: He had QQxx and won the pot with top set.
I put him on either a set or the nut flush draw from the beginning, possibly with a pair or flush draw to go along with the latter. Against that range, I don’t have great equity, so even with two pair and an open-ended draw, I’m just going to call and see what the turn brings.
I would have folded a heart turn, but on this safe card, I decided to commit to a big pot. He definitely ought to be firing again with a flush draw with these stacks, because it puts a lot of pressure on me to fold something like two pair and I’m rarely going to be slowplaying the flop looking to check-raise him. However, people do tend to play very straight-forwardly in PLO, and although he shouldn’t, I don’t know for sure that he wouldn’t have checked behind with a flush draw on the turn. However, the fact that I held a 3 and a 5 made those sets less likely, which made me somewhat more comfortable against his range.
