Utg( $10), opens to .35
F,f
Co (5.31) calls
Hero, button (10) calls with T986
Flop KT7
Utg 1.38
Co 4.96 ai
Hero ai
Utg calls
Is this fine?
I would fold because...
1. Both opponents in front show lots of strength.
2. T986 has barely open-end 8 outs (probably less) since any J may give either opponent a higher straight.
3. 6 blocks another out of T986
4. Two T outs may not be good.
5. Your backdoor spade flush does add back a bit value.

You definitely cannot stack off on this flop against two players. There is a substantial risk of running into a superior wrap. The odd time you get it in against top and middle set will not balance out the times you get it in drawing very slim. This is really a garbage wrap, your only nut out is the 6.
UTG opens to $0.35. Hero 3-bets to $1.20 with AAJ7. BUTTON calls. Two folds to UTG who calls.
Flop ($3.75): 942
UTG checks. Hero bets how much?
Luckily, this isn't a flop that UTG should be hitting too often, although we don't have any reads or stats so it is possible he is opening wider than we would expect. Of course this is also a flop that you never have anything on also. We don't block villains continuing range at all (I guess we block A3 and A5?) and do not really have any turns. Even one of our aces completes a flush. The most we can pick up otherwise is a gutty, although a 2 or 4 would be decent. I think we can check back.
For online 6-max PLO10, is it profitable to open UTG with baby rundowns like 6543ds? If not utg, at which pisition would you open with it?
No, although I would certainly open 9876 even single suited from UTG,. 6543 is just a pretty weak hand, you are always going to make the bottom end of things.

Just to add on to this, I am pretty sure I saw a Jnandez video the other day where they were saying 7543 ds is like a break even open from MP.
That said, I have some doubts whether it's an open if it's 10PLO rake.
6542ds is an open, too, btw. its like 0.1bb +EV but still. youre right though, on lowest stakes these hands might be a fold. i just checked for plo50 and its fine too. still good advice to not overplay those baby runnies!
I feel stupid posting this, but I am unsure of if i should CB in spots like this oop. On the one hand, I feel like it's a clear bet for value, but on the other hand getting raised would put me in a very awkward spot. If i were to get raised, Is it correct to call and continue on a spade, Q and A?
I'm guessing on the flop I cbet anything stronger than what I have here? Also, how is the 3B with this hand?
preflop is good play, on flop we generally have a range advantage so you can lead small and maybe even call a raise to it with backdoor, but check call flop is a valid play too i think.
since we dont have any backup folding turn is the right play vs continued aggression.
Looks good to me, although I think cbetting 33% is more standard. Interestingly, we jam over a raise on A56r if we do get raised, but mostly flat on A32r. Don't have an A45 sim, but I imagine it would be a mix.

Too thin on the river? usually I'd happily check back, but anything that beats us would have raised the turn the majority of the time (except QT) and if i get raised i can just muck. felt like there were a decent group of hands to get value from that would call a 1//3 pot bet
EDIT: after posting this, i realized it's very similar to the hand above. And i remember the exact reason as to why i didn't bet the river in that hand was that the pot (or more importantly: the effective stacks) was getting too big, and I'd hate to be raised off of it. I guess the bigger the pot, the more scared i am of getting raised off it. If you have any thoughts on this, please let me know.
