Hi Guys,
This is 5/10 hand in casino in San Diego, recently started playing PLO live, but have a fair amount of experience online.
Normally game is 9 handed, but just sat down, and is 6 handed. Have bought in with the minimum of 500.
Second hand dealt utg+2: QJJ7, double sooted. Looks like ok hand, i consider mucking, but then there are a couple weak players at table so I pop to 30.
Two callers in blinds, including Villain, who is a reg who gives a fair amount of action in nlhe games of same stakes.
Pot has 90. Flop is Q 10 7, rainbow, one of each of our suit. We have top and bottom pair, two back door flush draws and two straight blockers.. Both blinds check. Hero..?? Do you guys prefer checking or betting here and why?
Hero decided to bet 60, based on a couple different reasons, villain one promptly raised to 300, and v2 went out. What is Villains range and do we have enough equity to play 1k pot or is better to pass and wait for another spot..?

Pre open in CO is normal.
Flop check. We have an ok hand that would like a small pot for now, and doesn't want to stack off nor fold.

So you are the CO? I like the decision to raise. Could go $25 also.
Flop is a must bet. Your sizing is good too although I would go $50 especially in a mostly green chip game. Obviously not a huge deal of difference between $40-$60. This is a relatively dry board and you're going to be wanting to bet here quite frequently so you're going to want to favour a smaller (than pot) sizing. You should also bet T7 here and KKA, for example.
Fold to the raise. You are either slightly behind or massively behind.

Whole hand seems fine assuming you bf, villain has very few hands we are ahead of, given our smallish stack its a little harder to fold but still prob fine as long as villain isn't jamming bad hands like aqxx

hand seems fine. i fold to c/r given your sizing but with your stack i'd prob just pot/call. i would play deeper though as your hand can usually flat and bluff straight cards and has showdown value vs his giveups so one of the better ones to peel in position deeper.
