PLO hand - thoughts

[Felonius_Monk]

A[d] K[c] 2[d] J[c] in mid/late position. Pretty passive table. I have a full stack and limp.

flop comes K[d] 3[d] 2[s]. Checked to unknown MP player who bets about 1/3 pot, I am last to act and raise max. SB (an apparently new player who seems fairly poor/passive and a hold'em type) calls, as does MP. I am now last to act.

Turn comes J[h]. Both check to me, I bet full pot, SB pushes in after a bit of thought for about 1/3 pot, MP calls, I call.

Anyone go about this any differently? I think I'm pretty happy with it all the way.

I usually make at least a small raise with these hands in LP, because if I hit the flop hard I want to be able to make a big flop bet, but limping seems fine too.

It doesn't look like anyone has top set, but people do the strangest things with small sets, and SB could have 33 here. I think MP has a combination hand, maybe something like AK45 or A456. His small flop bet seems either a feeler or a pot builder. If it was a feeler (with a small set or 2pr) then he got his information and would have folded to the raise.

In these cases I always conclude that SB cannot have a set since it they should make the decision push/fold on the flop. But then they always turn out to have a set...

I think I play it the same way and later curse the SB with his 33. But I think you can also take a more passive line; after the flop it's clear that they're not going anywhere, and it's unclear if your top two is good. About 1/4th of the deck is bad news for you, but you're last to act on the river, so if a 5 comes you can safely fold to a large bet. So I guess it's not that bad of a line to check behind on the turn, since partly you're drawing and as for the made hands it's a WA?WB situation...

Nah, pot it!
