Still learning PLO. Yes it shows

What's better, limp calling a raise then making it obvious when you connect with a flop.

Raising and only continuing when you flop big, it might seem stupid but people just always think its a CB and don't notice that you checked the last 7 times after raising pre.

indeed. Since you didn't raise pre this is pretty much a dead board so you won't get a lot more out of it as only pocket 9's could pay you off here.

Flushy is correct..if you raise pre-flop people will assume you are C-betting when this flop comes down and be more inclined to call a flop bet.

perfect,thank you fellas

Here it depends how loose the game is though, considering Tighty has the irrelevant n-flush draw too and the won't make a difference for most hands, a facecard, Ten or Ace would make me more inclined to bet. Also Tighty most likely isn't as loose as you or me in a PLO game (yet!)

So I or Flushy would bet the flop, but perhaps Tighty shouldn't.

Never play an unraised pot in PLO is pretty much my standard! (forgetting action from the blinds)

Either raise or call a raise.
