I can't see us folding the flop for one bet, and i think raising would be overplaying so the call is fine. However, when you only call, you let everyone know that you don't have a strong hand. Against more competitive villains that could be almost a invitation to run (semi)bluff. This is probably not a problem in PLO10 because players have tendency to play draws more passive way, but just something to think about for the future (and higher stakes).

Since SB only calls the flop and checks the turn i think he have some sort of draw or TP. When you just call the bet on flop, i think SB would've raised every strong hand like set or even top two because yout hand looks like a draw or something else not that strong.

4 is quite good card for you so betting is fine. However, i think the sizing could be different in some cases. Because you are a pre-flop raiser, and with this line you could have A4xx so in that point of view, half a pot might be enough because you have some folding equity on your side. Against more calling station type player i would go a bit bigger just to make him pay for the draw. If villain for some reason check-raises here i would put him quite heavily towards A4xx(some fish may have also J4xx) and fold.

But i have to admit that i quite often have some troubles to choose right betsizing in right spots, so it would be great to hear what pros think about it.
And i have some weird obsession to became very suspicious when someone bets half a pot..

Akward flop, but you can't fold here cause he's so short... If he had more bb's that's a snap fold.

Well played,
