Flipping Coins in PLO

Level 6

Pot-Limit Omaha

We came on a big decision point in a PLO hand between new registrant Jean Gaspard and Artem Litvinov.

The pair had reached the river with the board showing {J-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{4-Clubs} and Litvinov having made a pot-sized bet of 18,000. Gaspard responded by raising to 60,000, and Litvinov spent a couple of minutes in contemplation thinking about what to do.

Finally Litvinov turned to the right in his seat and sat with his eyes closed, beginning a kind of ritual he has become somewhat known for doing in such spots. He sat quietly for a few seconds in the pose, then suddenly flipped a coin, looked at the result, and called the raise.

Gaspard quickly tabled {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for aces full, and Litvinov mucked, the coin flip having failed him.
