CO in this hand runs like 11/6 over 200+ hands. He's not raising much at all, and his 3-betting range is AA and only AA as far as I know to this point.

I make a very loose and probably bad call on the flop. I don't think anyone has a made straight, as that would require the CO have exactly AA76, and surely the button would be raising in an already bloated 3-bet pot if he had the straight. But still, I've only got an open ended draw and the jack doesn't even give me the nuts.

Turn checks around, and once that happens I am likely betting all non-ace rivers. I actually don't like the river as it pairs the card that showed up on the turn. AA now has two pair and beats a hand like 98. I decide to follow through with my turn plan anyway and pick up a nice pot.

Preflop I cold call a raise and a 3-bet, a bit risky as I could get stuck in a real bad spot if someone after me 4-bets, but JT87 double suited is just too damn pretty for me to fold.

I flop top pair and an open ended straight draw (5678), with one backdoor flush draw. The 3-bettor commits to the pot. And here is big risk #2. I can't call here, I have to shove or fold. I am pretty confident that the guy betting has AA and that I'm in good enough shape against him with all the money in the pot to play for stacks. The problem of course is that I'm blindly shoving into two unknowns behind me. If one of them has 98 or a set, I'm in huge trouble.

I decide to shove and get the best possible result, I get heads up against a very weak AA.

Would you believe I'm a full 65/35 favorite in this hand against AA32? I thought I was probably a small favorite. 65/35 is massive in PLO. The turn and river are not what I wanted to see though, and my opponent holds up.
