It is a min raise (+ 1 cent). Hairstylin is very loose passive. What is your play?

Pot, I never worry about A2 here. If he has A255, A277, or A246 you are a little behind and life sucks, but still have your gutshot. 99% of the time you are ahead at least one way.

Min check-raises like that are weird. I can never tell if it's a poor man's attempt at a bluff or a raise begging to be called. Most of the time, I'd guess it's probably the latter. I lean towards re-potting it and finding out. Even if we give him credit for a very strong hand such as a set with a low draw worse than yours, it's going to be close almost never worse than 40/60. So I'd just push. Calling is probably immediately +EV since you're getting nice pot odds, but I'd hate to see you make a bad fold on the turn if you don't improve. I like the scenerio where you're at worst a 40/60 dog. Isn't PLO/8 a great gambling game?

i think this is read dependent. specifically, what kinds of hands does he call raises with? also, how often does he fold to heat?

anyway, without reads, i like to jam on the flop. i might get him to lay down middle set. also, as TG said, i'd hate to see a bad fold on the turn without improvement.

i'd go ahead and try and get all the money in. i guess villain has a set of kings. you've got outs for the high and probably are good for half if the low comes.

The flop I don't know what the turn is...

I thought your question was about the flop. Only just read about the Q turn. Turn fold seems reasonable without some sort of read suggesting you should call (on the contrary, his passiveness suggests you should fold!), unless it's a heart in which case I take my chances to river one of the many winners I have up my sleeve.
