You mention that there are lots of straight draws. Well, against the current nuts they are drawing to a split hence shouldn't continue against a big bet ever. In general people should not continue with small flush draws against big bets on this board either. If they are calling light, go ahead and bet big with this hand of course, but I don't think it's theoretically a good sizing.
Good advice. FWIW, this is 5 PLO microstakes so I'm expecting people to call too light with their draws.
But I agree, the board is so favorable to me, a smaller sizing is better to target hands I dominate.
Looking back, I think I should have bet small on the turn, mainly targeting draws.
Reveal: Villain had QT, no flush draw. Meaning, he called the flop with just pair of Q and gutter. Made a very weak full house on the river.
