5-Card PLO, 2/2 with a live UTG straddle on for most hands.

Stacks & Reads:
V1: LAG & gambly, but good and hard to play against. Has been very aggro the last 30-45 mins, but not tiltish aggro. We have been battling quite a lot during our last sessions.
Stack: 1200' ish

V2: Plays tight pre, prone to make loose calls post at times vs Hero.
Stack: 500´ish

Hero: V1 likes to battle and test me, since I am playing a gambly LAG style, but he knows I can lay down good hands & also run big bluffs. V2 I think views me as more of a fish than I actually am.
Stack: 850

Pre:
Hero opens 98654ds in EP, V2 calls, V1 makes it 45 to go from straddle, Hero and V1 call.

Flop: (Pot: 140)
A 2 3
V1 Checks
Hero bets 100
V2 Calls
V1 Calls

Turn: (Pot: 440)
A 2 3 J
Hero has diamond flush draw.

V1 Checks
Hero has 700 behind, and bets... ?

I can see an argument made for a lot of different sizes in this spot.

Nice spot to risk a check for a TAG, not for you. I like smaller since this seems quite likely to go to showdown to advertise your nutty range inside small bets on somewhat drawy boards. Some amount that leaves you potentially not pot committed, $270 ish.

I’d try to get it all in on the turn. If checking to v2 get v2 betting then I like crai. If v2 is passive and checks back a lot then I think a small bet to induce v1 raising may be fine too. This disguises your hand quite well and if v2 has a set or a bare wheel , then you jam and have a free roll opportunity when you get it in

Thanks for the replies. At the table, checking didn´t even cross my mind, since I only have one player behind with like 2/3 pot left, and I don´t see him pushing - except for maybe the times when he has some type of 33xxxdd type of hand that picked up additional equity with the flush draw (that I block). 54xxx probably pushes as well, but I think there are a lot of hands that he will check back, like sets, two pair, combo hands like A7653 etc.

In the end, I just potted it since #yolo, pot is big as it is and if called I GII on any river (maybe except for board-pairing) with no heartaches, since there are a lot of potential scare cards. V2 folded pretty quickly, V1 tank-folded top set. As I was stacking my chips, I was cursing myself for being a weak pussy and potting instead of going something like 250-300 to induce calls/pushes from worse, but I was in for a lot and had recently lost a 1000EUR+ pot where I got most of the money in on the turn very good, so I just wanted to take it down.

That's how V1 plays top set? Wow.

I'm fine with potting it with your image -- just got unlucky.

You can bet small enough to induce a shove from the shorter villain whilst keeping the action open to rejam
