Table is full of fish that will play any 4. They don't know how to play after the flop. Basically I have been making my money here on really bad misplays on the tables part ATF. This is a hand that I usually wouldn't play. This flop is a total whiff for the table. You know they are all chasing dreams.

Probably should have folded pre-flop.

On the flop, this isn't the kind of draw you want to be raising w/ in PLO. Eight outs w/ a back door non-nut flush draw is nothing to get excited about. Especially not when betting into a crowd. If we can't bring ourselves to bet the pot then we shouldn't raise. Call.

As played, I'd check behind and take a free card on the turn.

You say the flop was a whiff for the table but 3 players are still with us on the turn. One has shown some aggression and the other two are continuing in the face of a bet and a raise. Some body has something and it's better than king high.

Tons better spots to be putting money in.

You have a pretty bad draw on the flop not to mention very little in terms of redraws. A bad spot to be raising if said players are fish who play a lot of hands. The turn is definitely a check.

Same as above. A call on the flop is fine. You're not going to be driving players out of the pot with a raise and you don't have a big enough drawing hand to be building a huge pot.

As played check the turn.
