iPoker - €0.04 PL Hi (6 max) - Omaha Hi - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

CO: €4.43
BTN: €4.00
SB: €9.80
BB: €5.31
Hero (UTG): €8.63
MP: €10.99

SB posts SB €0.02, BB posts BB €0.04

Pre Flop: (pot: €0.06) Hero has 4♠ K♠ K♦ T♣

Hero raises to €0.08, fold, CO calls €0.08, fold, SB calls €0.06, fold

Flop: (€0.28, 3 players) 9♠ A♥ K♣
SB checks, Hero bets €0.28, CO calls €0.28, SB calls €0.28

Turn: (€1.12, 3 players) T♥
SB checks, Hero bets €0.56, CO raises to €2.80, fold, fold

So I open my ok Kings UTG and get 2 callers. Flop 2nd set and pot it. The turn comes and I feel I should put some kind of bet out there (or not?). I'm still a little new to plo so I'm a little unsure as to whether I should just ship it here to the raise? Was the fold too cautious? What's the best play in these kind of spots? Let me know what you think.

Thanks

This is a dry flop. That means there aren't really any draws showing, so there is no need to bet full pot here and make weak hands fold that might call a smaller bet.

I would bet a little over half pot here just to keep the fish interested.

Turn card definitely looks like you're against a straight now, and so folding is correct, especially because you also have a ten in your hand taking one of your full house outs away from you. Checking the turn would also be too weak so you made the best play.
