JFC ... will you look at the stack sizes, it isn't like this is a limped pot with 100x behind vs. everyone.
Pot: $359.5
SB (JN): $2.5k
BB: $399.29
MP: ~1.2k
CO: $441
BTN: $149.25
The only player you shouldn't be auto snap stacking off vs. is MP, and betting 1/2 pot allows at least two players to reopen the action and is basically AI for BTN ... all of which puts leveraged pressure on MP. We are also more likely to have AA than MP, and none of BB/CO/BTN can have AA unless they are idiots.
If we check and BB bets it's just so much more likely that MP calls, which is terrible for us. Also if we check and CO/BTN bets 1/2 pot then MP gets a huge amount of information and can do very bad things to us.
Auto x/f is what you do at PLO 5 when you have god like reads that someone has random any4 88.
If you wanted to argue that betting $74 was better (so that BN can reopen the action) because you get a similar amount of leverage on MP and it's not as bad if BB or CO call wider ... then, meh, maybe ... or $199 to get more folds and maybe a little more pressure to MP ... but checking ... ffs.
Maybe post the hands to the group pretending you are hero in future (saying you think you played it bad and should have done the action you think is best).
