5/10 PLO. $1.5K effective.
Hero limps in MP, button raises to $40, MP calls and hero call with A

Flop K75r
X,x, button bets $100, hero calls.

Turn($320) K754r.
X, button bets $175, hero calls.

River ($670) K754Q.
X, button bets $400, hero calls.
Thoughts?

i dont like any of your decisions... i guess pre isn't terrible if you play well post and flops fine if u c/r turn/steal at some frequency.... think you have reverse implied odds a lot of the time though since you never improve and out of position. you just seem really stationy though which is probably the worst tendency as people assume everyones stationy in plo and play accordingly.

Id raise pre. There is little value in C/C flop with your hand on that board. Smooth is right about reverse implied odds.

Raise pre, bet flop, bet turn, pot river. Easy game.

All these decisions look pretty cringe worthy to me. I know suited aces and a pair are often playable for 1 bet, but i would not recommend playing one like this without theoretical knowledge of how to turn your hand into a bluff postflop. Hero could reasonable consider raising flop or turn and as played its incredibly unlikely villain has enough worse hands for calling to be profitable.

Worse hands would mostly be something like 98xx or kxxx that didnt improve. And we block 8s.

Pre is FINE do not let anybody tell you different. Flop CR, if you don't ….atleast CR this turn, if you don't ….probably cr river or fold I wouldn't call. (hes MP, doesn't have a bunch of 66xx bluffs in his range he might even have 456 as a bluff)

Every suit of every card matters even if a FD is not present, especially when you can filter ranges a bunch considering he opened from MP if he is reasonable preflop.

I would never call the river. Either raise or fold. A raise will likely not work with the nut straight blockers because your story doesn't check out because unless your were nutted with the nut redraw, you would have bet or c/r the turn with 68.
