Im in IT sales and my pre-sales “specialist” is only really just a specialist at bullshitting. When he talks he doesn’t really have much value to add on our calls. He’s supposed to be more technical than me, but I honestly think I would be more capable of doing his job than he is.

Luckily, I’m pretty technical myself relatively speaking for an AE, but, it’s starting to feel like a burden having him on calls.

Game: $1/$2 5-card PLO Stacks: ~$500 effective Hero: Button

Preflop

Hero is on the BTN with A♠ A♦ 6♣ 6♥ 2♦

• Folds to Hero → raises to $10

• SB calls

• BB calls (villain)

Pot: ~$30 (3 ways)

⸻

Flop ($30)

Board: 7♣ 9♦ J♠ • SB checks • BB bets $25 • Hero calls on BTN with overpair + backdoor potential • SB calls

Pot: ~$100 (3 ways)

Board: 7♣ 9♦ J♠ A♥

We have top set now.

• SB checks

• BB bets $100

Line check: What are you doing here?

Are you just calling with SB left to act and a possible straight out there? Or are you raising to $200 or $300 to deny equity to straight draws and commit hands like sets and two pair?

If we raise to something like $300, it would put BB into a spot where they have $200 to call to see what would be $700. He would need about 28% equity to call and could continue with a much weaker range. We still have SB left to act behind though.

The reality is we don’t have the nuts here but the only hand that beats us is 10/8. There are more potential hands that continue than have us beat and we still have boat outs if villain has 10/8.
