$25PLO 8/b HU eff stacks $25
SB is loose passive. I have such a huge hand I have no idea what to do with it. Is this a basic bet pot?

Dealt to Hero :Qs: :Js:

SB completes, Hero raises to .75, SB calls

Flop ($1.50) :As: :Ts:

Hero bets $1.50, SB calls

Turn ($4.50)

Hero...

The other option that *might* be worth considering is to go for a c/r

you have the nut low, but 6 anti-outs.
you have 7 outs to the nut high (Kings, non-spade 9s), and 9 outs to the 2nd nut high, 8 and 4 of spades and 3 non-spade 5s make you a pretty good high.

villian could have almost anything here. Unless he holds 88/A8 the turn didn't help, and he didn't raise the flop, so he probably has some kinda draw and/or low. Odds are, he has your Q-high beat. You have somewhere around 75% equity vs. him - unless he has 2356 or A235 or something.

Pot is 4.5o, so getting him to fold a crap high is worth only about a buck.

I am kinda tempted to go for the c/r here. I just think it's very rare that he has a hand he will raise a PSB with, much more likely he will fold (+EV, but not much for us). However, he might now BET a hand, especially a worse low, and you can raise pot on him. This is good, because if he was outright bluffing - he'd have folded to your bet and you make $4.50. Plus, you make $$$$ on worse lows, and $$ when you hit one of your 24 outs.

Obv, if it was limit, it's a trivial bet. I think NL too - but PL is a funny case where c/r is a more common move.
