I have a few questions:

- Can we open preflop?
- CB pretty standard, but can we fold now? He's raising with two players behind him and i dont have backdoors.

Preflop from utg this is marginal hand,with 2 high suits maybe open,this one is clear fold.

You pointed out very good he is raising with 2 players behind and you have bare top2 with

no additional equity.Maybe annoying to fold,but it is the right play with this spr.

This hand is absolutely a fold UTG. It's actually a very weak hand, and only profitable if you can open it from the button. In PLO you want four cards that are working together.

I like betting the flop with top two pair, for reasons that should be fairly obvious. We have a strong but vulnerable hand and would be happy to take down the pot immediately. Top two pair is almost always a fold to a raise in high SPR situations like this, even with bottom set you are really not happy about getting raised in this spot.
