What do you think of this hand?

I think I played that wrong, was playing "Holdem in PLO" ...

How should I play this hand correctly?

partypoker - $0.02 PL Hi (6 max) - Omaha Hi - 3 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BTN: 114.5 BB (VPIP: 38.54, PFR: 23.96, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 96)
Hero (SB): 89.5 BB
BB: 201 BB (VPIP: 36.44, PFR: 21.19, 3Bet Preflop: 10.81, Hands: 118)

Hero posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has K♠ 4♣ K♦ T♠

BTN raises to 2.5 BB, Hero raises to 8.5 BB, fold, BTN calls 6 BB

Flop: (18 BB, 2 players) 4♠ 6♠ 5♦
Hero bets 12 BB, BTN calls 12 BB

Turn: (42 BB, 2 players) T♣
Hero bets 28 BB, BTN calls 28 BB

River: (98 BB, 2 players) 9♥
Hero bets 41 BB and is all-in, BTN calls 41 BB

Hero shows K♠ 4♣ K♦ T♠ (Two Pair, Tens and Fours)
(Pre 69%, Flop 38%, Turn 30%)
BTN shows Q♣ 3♥ 6♦ 2♠ (Straight, Six High)
(Pre 31%, Flop 62%, Turn 70%)
BTN wins 171 BB

do not 3b preflop unless your kings are connected when out of position. I would xc flop cuz this board hits villains range and if he raises you must fold. as played turn I think bet is fine to charge draws aand worse 2p but bet bigger. river I'd just check..

Don't 3bet kings. They have all the same problems as AAxx, plus if opponent has A in his hand his equity goes up a lot. Just call pre.

So: Call with bad kings and aces for set value and 3-bet only the good ones like AAKTds/ss, AATJds/ss...etc.?

Create a 3betting range EP un PLO is Always a problem ! Because bad habits are taken in NLHE. Those are 2 distincts games.
As beginner, I would advise you to 3 bet only premiums hands unless you have reads on your opponent. But you must understand that 3bet Always let the odd for being called by OR
If you open from HJ or BU, and blinds raise, except with really trash hand, you have to call. It's the same for your opponent πŸ˜‰
It take time to understand how careful you must be with your EP's hand while you can open very wildly from late position 😁
Keep going !
Β‘ Pura vida !

Tartine, I just read that yesterday. Of course: ItΒ΄s POT limit and NOT NO Limit and you have tons of options to hit the flop and get some interesting draws. I should keep that in mind. Even a set can be underdog in PLO.
