Raise turn? What can he POSSIBLY have that will pay us off? I hoped he'd hit the nut flush on the river with the hidden straight flush...

Raise either the flop or the turn or both. Hope he has trips with the nut flush draw or something.

By flat calling twice you got just $3.75 in by the river. You never gave him a chance to make this a large pot.

I shoulda raised the flop when he donked in to me. There's no way he could put me on the hand I have. I just didn't want to see him bet/fold.

Him bet/folding is a bad result. Him bet/folding 4 times and getting stacked on the 5th when he has A3xx is far better than you winning <$4 5 times running. Just an illustration, but you hopefully see my idea.

Yeah, make it $3.75 or so on the flop. You really don't "have the board locked" here in the same way you would playing hold'em. The only time you really have the board locked in PLO is when you flop quads. He's repping a 3, and if he has it, then great. If not, it was going to be pretty hard to get paid off anyway.

I was more thinking of on the turn when I said I had the board locked.

Well he won't believe you have a full house on turn no matter how much you raise. He will still call with A3 , K3 , A6 , K6.

Raise flop while he still has a chance to catch a bigger full house.

Raise turn while he doesn't believe you have a FH.

Raise them both.

I ve seen them call with overpairs there.

Raise.

Raise.
