Was hand 2 a bluff on the river?
1/3 seem sad but correct

I don't necessarily bet the turn in Hand 2

I figured he might have a worse kicker and call. I really don't think he has AQxx, and if he has a KQxx, that's fine, I didn't think he was drawing to a flush because donks don't min-bet call with flush draws.

1 and 3 are fine. Hand 2 we really need to be checking behind on the turn for a free card. By the time the river comes, there aren't many hands that he will call with that dont have us beat. Don't expect players at 25PLO to lay down a flush on a paired board

Yea, WTH is your reasoning? Of course he can minbet-call with a FD. It's $25PLO.

The turn bet in hand 2 is pretty terrible.

Well, I smelled weakness in the second hand and was making an ISF play. Villain had 77, so nh him.
