Hi, I'm a NL guy mostly, but I have started playing some low stakes live PLO games. The folllowing is a scenario that I have no idea what to do:

I open from mp with A1098ss , and get 2 callers from the blinds, both blinds are unremarkable in anyway.. The flop is 832 rainbow, so I have tp with a bd flush draw. What am I doing?

Betting, but if i'm raised i'm doing what?.Checking behind, thereby giving free cards to two opponents. This is a situation that comes up constantly and i'm really not sure what I should be doing in a PLO game.

Any suggestions thoughts on what to do with TP in this situation would be appreciated.

You're betting for value. You shouldn't be getting raised too frequently on this board, but if you are, start calling. Sets should be relatively rare, you have ok equity vs flopped two pair, and just have to dodge against a wrap. As you get more experience in PLO you'll learn when the right spots are to bet-fold, bet-call or check behind, but this is usually a bet-evaluate spot, while keeping in mind that you will be sometimes called by better hands than you.

Thank you.

So lets say the flop was less dry- how bout 862 double suited and I have a BD flush draw only. Am I still betting for value? knowing that I can definitely be raised on this board

thanks again

3-ways with KQT on AKQr, you might rate to have the best hand > 33% or even 50% but that doesn't mean you'd be betting for value, as worse hands don't call often enough.

862 with a flush draw, that you don't have, I'm betting because lots and lots of hands just call to chase, and we dominate a chunk of them; turns are generally quite easy to play too. Against someone who c/res a lot, whereas on 832 we might bet-call, on this board we'd check back more, as without a good flush draw we're definitely bet-folding against everyone.
