Im new to PLO so I'm unsure if this is standard or spew?

Villain is fish with 95vpip 50pfr and stacks of pretty light on flops. By light i means bottom straight, 2pair etc.

So i think villain can stack of with straight, draws, pair+draw, sets and flushes here. Maybe even top2.

Wait for a better spot, just call or how do i play this?

Against QQxy and TTxy you're ahead, and if he has a flush you still have about 33% equity. So folding to his shove getting almost 2-1 would be a mistake. I am wondering what you were trying to accomplish with the checkraise though.

The reasoning was quite "elementary". I assumed that i had enough equity to play for stacks on the flop. I also knew that villain CB alot while re-shoving or calling of a shove pretty light. So i figured it was the best way get the chips in the middle considering that i wouldnt mind playing for stacks on any turn or river card that might come.

But there is a small risk that a paired board on turn/river etc would make him less inclined to play for stacks though.

But this reasoning feels alittle awkward in my head.

If you want to go for value, why not bet flop then? A checkraise risks not getting value if he checks back, and maniacs like this call at least one street with two pair.

CO is a fish, dont give them value by trying to bluff them off a flush, prefer a cbet than a check raise tbh, he would have probs just called a cbet, you took a line which is to clever for fish to comprehend, make it obvious as hell if want to try and bluff, but i just wouldent bother trying in this spot, or rarely

as played just call and evaluate turn

very interesting hand imo, in terms of blockers, sdv, and equity vs better combined with FE. i really have no clue what to do, i feel like your play is best in terms of balancing imo, but really have to think about this spot. very interesting spot

Take a look in your holdem manager if you had pot odds to call.
Im guessing you did.

But i would never spew my monies out like that vs a nit or anyone else for that matter in the micros.

A good line with scary flops with trips is c/c, c/c(maybe) and if you hit, take his whole stack.
Otherwise you just miss value and make up for a ev- pot.
