I check back flop as you pretty much have to pass if check-raised as we are fairly deep.  I bet all turns if checked around again.

If you're betting here, are you bet folding or bet calling? And more importantly why? I've not heard a single good argument.

Probably betting most turns if it's checked to me tbh, deffo clubs or 5 8 or 9

Because to win be a long term winner in PLO you have to pick up lots of small pots like this. You have to a least try and pick it up and the odds dictate you probably will enough of the time to make it +EV. If we get raised no problem we can fold..........

But we have a medium strength hand, probably the best hand but it cannot withstand a check-raise in this spot, especially since we have a pair within our hand which also acts as blockers to a combi-draw which would (if the is not in their hand) be one of the few things to c/r us that we would beat, albeit marginally. We can bet any turn if it's checked to us a second time anyway.

Win small pots, sure whatever, but this is not a bet/fold or bet/call spot imo, therefore checking behind is fine.

I don't agree obv, you clearly play a lot tighter than me and that is probably the difference. I'm going to be taking my chances to pinch as many pots as possible given the chance.......

by checking back, are we planning on folding on any turns?
