PLO- bet sizing on turn when you cant stand a check-raise

[cleanup.that]

I'm new to PLO and I am noticing a reoccurring situation that happens to me and I'm never sure what the best play is. It happens when I bet the flop with a hand that figures to be ahead of villains calling range and then I am checked to again on a blank turn.

Some turn cards I will obviously shut down but there are some turns where I do not really want to give a free card but I also do not want to bet pot and risk getting check raised off my hand. This happens a lot when I have overpairs on dry boards or draws that have picked up more equity on the turn.

My question is how do I determine when I should be double barreling in these spots and about how much of the pot should I bet? Is it okay to give more free cards on the turn? In my mind this will induce a lot of players to fire the river and it will put me to tougher decisions.

Here is a sample hand to illustrate what I am talking about:


PokerStars Pot-Limit Omaha, $0.02 BB (5 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

SB ($1.63)
BB ($1.81)
UTG ($3.21)
MP ($2.96)
Hero (Button) ($3.19)

Preflop: Hero is Button with , , ,
UTG calls $0.02, MP calls $0.02, Hero bets $0.11, 2 folds, UTG calls $0.09, 1 fold

Flop: ($0.27) , , (2 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets $0.26, UTG calls $0.26

Turn: ($0.79) (2 players)
UTG checks, Hero ???

I'm really confused by these spots and they seem to happen very often. Any advice is appreciated!

Bet 50c, you could probably bet 75c if you think he's calling with any T.

Thing is you're only getting CR if you are beat, and by beat I mean crushed. You have no redraws, so your hand is not even very good. If you think villain is only c/c the flop with monsters then check behind and maybe even fold river (with reads). If he donk shoves river fold.

I find it very hard to believe villains will bluff bet the river very frequently at 2PLO because you check behind the turn showing weakness. Usually the villains who do this are very spazzy and it's obvious.

I got kinda overwhelmed by the post but in the hand I think you should bet and hope he folds. You're betting because you have the best hand a lot and almost surely have some outs if called & behind. You want him to fold because almost anything will have > 30% vs your hand and pretty much the whole deck will look bad OTR if he decides to bluff
