 I don't know how to play hands like this.

1 - He was hitting the 1/2 pot button instead of the usual BET POT mashers, weird.

$0.1/$0.25 Pot Limit Omaha Hi
4 players

Pre-flop: ($0.35, 4 players) Hero is BB
CO raises to $0.85, BTN calls $0.85, 1 fold, Hero calls $0.6

Flop: ($2.65, 3 players)
Hero checks, CO checks, BTN bets $1.3, Hero calls $1.3, CO folds

Turn: ($5.25, 2 players)
Hero checks, BTN bets $2.6, Hero calls $2.6

River: ($10.45, 2 players)
Hero checks, BTN bets $5.2, Hero folds

TLR is an unknown quantity at this point
 1. lead flop. Turnis a toughly but I think you have implied odds to call
2. Pretty bad hand, fold preflop, check flop, fold turn

 hand 1 - that means you have to adjust and realize that 1/2 PSB means what you think a PSB would normally mean. Fold turn.

Hand 2 - I fold this out of the blinds. You're going multi way and there are very few flops you can be excited about. Bet pot on flop, lead turn, fold to raise.

 Does bluffing ever cross your mind in hand 1, IDK, it doesn't seem like he's too committed on the turn.

If you're being serious, I don't get it. He's probably just too lazy (like me) to use the slider. Anyways, what's legit in the context of this hand? Aces up? A set? A baby flush? either way, he can fold a lot of that range, and since we were such pussies on the flop we really look like we were drawing instead of holding a hand with good turned mediocre showdown strength.

FWIW if he calls a turn c/r I'm all about shoving a non board pairing river.

 Read leg's comment, realize he's playing on fulltilt which provides a 1/2 PSB button.

I think he has a flush and I don't think raising now is a good idea. On stars you get looked up too much, against thinking players maybe its fine.

I didn't pay attention to flop in HAnd 1, lead (then give up on turn), or c/r if you know he'll cbet.
