I have marked villain as a strange player. As seen before check-raise can mean anything from nuts to air.

GG Poker - $0.02 PL Hi FAST (6 max) - Omaha Hi - 6 players
Hand converted by Holdem Manager 3

Hero (BTN): $2.43 (121.5 bb)
SB: $3.37 (168.5 bb)
BB: $4.67 (233.5 bb)
UTG: $8.25 (412.5 bb)
MP: $2.00 (100 bb)
CO: $2.96 (148 bb)

SB posts $0.01, BB posts $0.02

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.03) Hero has Q♣: J♥: 9♣: 4♠:
fold, MP raises to $0.04, fold, Hero calls $0.04, fold, BB calls $0.02

Flop: ($0.13, 3 players) T♣: 5♣: Q♥:
BB checks, MP checks, Hero bets $0.10, fold, MP raises to $0.43, Hero?
Call or raise?

Easy fold preflop.

As played this is one of best flops your hand can hit. Both options are kind of fine to 3bet or call on flop. In position I would lean toward call. That way you give opponent chance to continue with air type of stuff and you can still stack off on huge amount of turn cards

I have used PLO Mastermind to train hands since you told about it in your blog. I have been folding too much instead calling or 3betting, especially at BTN. But my VPIP/PFR/3bet is still very low, about 19/10/3 even I have tried to call and 3bet more IP.

Turn was A♣: Villain minibet and I thought he is looking to pot if I raise so I called. River 4♣:, minibet-call. Villain had naked QQxxrb :f_cry:

When you say minibet do you mean he bet 1bb? If so then you missed value OTT and OTR.

We can widen our range versus good customer using minraise but I would still fold this hand with totally disconnected 4.

We turn 2nd nuts and you only call minbets in turn and river? SPR after flop call is like 1.5 so if we are versus nuts then so be it. Only reason to just call turn is to keep opponent range as wide as possible if we assume he will often bluff big on river or give value wide otherwise after we show weakness. But that would mean raising big versus river minbet.

Standard would be to raise turn though as we should approach minbet as check. If we face check we definitely want to bet to build pot to get all-in on river.
