UTG is a reg that just recently changed his sn. Cant really say a lot about him other than he´s been really loose. SB is not great,but not terrible either, likely inexperienced in PLO. He has been running quite hot, getting it in thinly/slightly bad. I have been pounding on him a little in recent hands.
Relevant stats are (only about 100 hands each):

SB: 39/25, folds to flop bet 32%,
UTG: 40/27 folds to flop bet 33%

Comments on all streets appreciated

I'd call and be unhappy about it =\

i really hate pre. rest of the hand is a total disaster because of pre. i dont wanna put in 300bb with a8 in that spot.
that said i would probably still do the same as DB

Pre is terrible this deep vs UTG raise. Check turn, as played can't fold to the raise.

First villain opens like 30% utg. Other guy is loose as well. It likely still isnt great, thats why i was asking.

don't like PF this deep, probably fold turn but unhappy about it

I think pre is good for most dynamics. You need to 3 bet and put the pressure on in marginal spots or you will give up a lot of room. This is a more risk oriented strategy. Turn is kind of gross I think recent table history will confirm for you whether or not you have dug your own grave and are forced to call this turn because you have induced it via aggressive play. Getting called twice on the flop is strange.

Pre is whatever, I don't usually do it but it can't be bad if he's opening 30% utg and isn't a postflop maestro. Post is standard, if in doubt get it in and get there.

Our line looks so strong and villain probably expect that we are not folding often so I fold. kinda close without more reads call is prob. standard..

pre cant be that bad but is rarely ideal

That is the most interesting decision imo. Anybody else likes a turn check?

checking is result oriented imo

What are the hands in SBs range that we are afraid of here? He should not have a set here, and doesn't OPs read that he has been getting it in light and the fact that SB may feel that hero is running him over make combodraws that just gained extra outs the most part of SBs range(and is just meh, im never in bad shape CRAI!).
edit: I do realize that we never crush the drawing hands, and may even be ~flipping against some, but i really dont see us being crushed almost ever either.

Pf is a pretty large mistake IMO.

Edit: Turn sucks, depends on villain probably a cry fold.

i don't see all the fuss about pre? UTG is opening 30% and we have an above avg hand, mixing up our play here can't be as bad as ppl say it is.

flop is standard and turn is close btw b/c and b/f, but given the recent history of OP slapping SB around a little bit, i lean closer to a b/c but feel really slutty about it.

checking the turn is too dangerous imo. there are virtually no rivers that we like, and given that we're squeezed between UTG and SB, there's a lot of room to make a lot of mistakes

Almost a nothing to see here hand except that we started 300bb effective. I'm not very unhappy about the turn development actually.

But this is where you have to know their coping mechanism. Some lash out while the rest wait to strike. I'd use that to choose my final action.
