[Closed] PLO25 QQ42ds

preflop is fine, I like calling more than 3betting with the 4 and 2 not being such great support (besides being DS of course)

I like it as played , raise folding is too weak. you have decent equity even against set of kings which is possible that went for a check raise and failed. you also block some good wraps with your QQ , you are ahead of hands like J♣T♣Q* having wrap+FD

Isn't that a gross starting hand?

high pair + double suit makes it a mediocre starting hand

Very marginal imo and should be played in position not UTG and q high flush draw is very shitty but i may be very wrong.Need another comment for playing this hand corectly.But as utg.....

converter mistake, BB is UTG, and If I'm not mistaken we are either CO or BU here , depends if there was or not a SB in this hand. also we are 4 handed , no need to be that tight

i am new to plo but should i be scare for a higher flush.Had lost to bigger flushes even if i knew i got beaten but as i said i am kinda new to PLO.

yes, in PLO you should be carefull with non nut flushes. in this hand it's not that likely to see an oponent bet/shipping the turn if he only has a nut FD (if he has that we are ahead anyway with 2pair , blockers and a live FD)

thank you

First of all, I think this particular flop gives you decent stealing oppurtunites after preflop agressor has checked which indicates that he doesnt have much of it and you have 2 blockers to potential wraps and flushdraws making it less likely someone has ones, check behind is fine too as you dont mind a free card here, its just a matter of style, after all. Your raise on the turn is questionable, because you cant really represent any good made hand here after you checked such a draw heavy flop in position, so it becomes obvious that you are on a draw which got further imrovement on this turn card. Thus, if SB is somewhat of a thinking player, you have no fold equity against any better hand he may hold, and, surely, you cant fold to a shove in this spot which means that you're just bloating the pot when you are behind (you have around 35% against a set and you are even money or slight underdog vs. 2-pair type of hands) . Of course, he may have a draw too, but, against his total range (lets define it as just KKxx and QJTx with a flush draw, because only few 99xx combos make up a playable hand), you still have only 40%, despite having most of his draws crushed.
I think your best option on the turn is to just call, as you have nice implied odds: there are 2 flushdraws on board, so if you hit either of them, villain will be inclined to c\c in a hope that you missed another one.
