    I would personally go $25 to $30. I figure that a bet of more than that, he only calls if he has you beat (A6 or A7, though A7 is unlikely because he bet the flop). So what happened?

    i personally dont think you're getting called here, looks to me like a club draw with a weaker two pair...but i think anywhere from $15-$25 would be the right bet

    Not an Omaha player, but between 1/3 and 1/2 pot is enticing enough for him to call, and not cost you too much if you are beat.

    I really don't like this spot.

    If he is really bad, I may just check. or bet REALLY small hoping to entice a bluff. PLO players love bluffing off all their money.

    If he is good, I would want to make a bet I could fold if he came back at me.

    Fold pf.

    BTW, while not a PLO expert, it played it exclusively for about 6 months.

    I loosened up preflop because we were down to 5-handed.

    I ended up deciding on $25 and he threw his hand away instantly. Oh well.

    about the only thing he could call you with that you could beat would be AK or maybe AQ.

    There is very little chance that he had a low set. Any other two pair hand is going to fold or have you beaten.

    The only way you are getting any money is from a bluff, so give him rope.
