PLO questions

[LeeG]

I have been playing some PLO lately, and while I am doing very well money wise, I have no clue whether that is because I am playing well, or my opponents just suck.

I don't have HH, but here are a few hands, all are at a $50 PLO 6 max table.
H has $160, CO has $30, rest are right at $50. CO has stacked off 3 times so far (flush vs flush, 2pr vs FH, and set vs straight)

2 limps to H on button who pots with K K 3 2
BB calls, CO calls.

Flop: (pot ~$6)
5 9 J

Checks to H, who bets 1/2 pot. BB folds, CO does a pot raise.

H?

Earlier hand, same Vs, H has $130, V's all right at $50 except SB who only has $10 (just stacked him).

H pots ($1.75) UTG with Q Q A J

CO, Button and SB flat call (I almost never got 3 bet all night).

Flop: $6.25 pot
Q 8 5
SB checks, I pot, Button calls, SB Calls

Turn: T
SB checks
H?

Thoughts on how to play here and river if board doesn't pair.

Hand 1 villain is short enough and obviously loose enough that I definitely stack off and feel good about it. I'd just shove here.

Hand 2 I'd make a smallish bet, say half pot, and hope to get called down by a weaker flush. Playing it passively on the turn won't get you anywhere really since you're going to make a strong move on the river, anyway. He will probably not give up much with a hand weaker than a flush, and he won't fold an underset to a half pot bet, most likely. If called in or or both spots, you can probably still get in the effective stack on the river, whether the board pairs or not, no?

I typoed on hand 2. I had Q not Q

Fixing it now.

Oh. That is a little different. Since you do have the [Ah] though, I would still go ahead and bet like half pot, because most 50PLO players are not going to raise without the nut flush when you've bet both streets. Also, this provides a block against a PSB, which you can't really call (2:1 isn't enough if you're folding any river that doesn't make you a boat). Probably have to check a lot of non-pairing rivers, and either check/call to induce bluffs from aggressive players or check/fold to less imaginative players.

Hand 1: Put him in if you have seen him stacking off in similar situations with non nut hands as you said. The difference is when he has been stacking off has he been betting/raising or just calling pot bets on every street? That may give you a clue as to whether he has you here. That said, for like $25 more I stack off anyway I think.

Hand 2: Easy bet on turn check behind non paired river. You have the Ah so it's unlikely he is going to check raise you with the non nut flush. If it's same guy as before (I think you said it was) then there is no point betting pot to try and get him off a weak flush. As DC said bet like 1/2 pot.
