About LinkBacksi was playing a game of omaha hi pl, im a pretty good player, but there one situation i find very difficult to play and that is playing two pair from early pos. so i have k,j,10,7 in the big blind and the flop comes kd,10d,4s. its five way. in this hand i ended up check folding on the folp, casue if u raise the pot and someone calls u it can leave u a very hard decision on the turn, casue u dont no if the other person has hit there draw and u either have to fire another big shot at the pot or check, showing weakness and maybe geting bluff off the pot and if u get called on the the turn then u really have a difficult decision on the river whether ur 2 pair is good, even more so if its 3 way. how would you play this situation?

I'm still learning at PLO but I think this is one of those situations where a bad player can go broke very easily. 5 way with a flush draw on the board, you aren't in good shape. To me it depends on the table, a weak tight table I bet the pot and re-evaluate the turn if called (likely giving up). A loose table, I give up and check-fold, you aren't winning this in a showdown (unless you hit the 4 outer). With no reads and OOP, I give up here. I don't like getting involved in marginal OOP situations in PLO.
For Free Money, Rakeback and some 6x Ongame bonuses, I recommend PokerSource.
I recommend Cardrunners for superb poker coaching. It was honestly the single biggest improvement in my game signing up there! Sign-up fee might seem steep, but it pays itself back within weeks.

It isn't video poker. It depends. The case you mentioned is an easy check/fold. You can have the best hand, but multiway it's hi variance with all of the draws along with people making a better 2 pair and that 2 pair's gonna make someone else a straight.
3-way with A678 and a flop of A73rbw, you pot it to take it down and fold to a raise.
Post HH's and you'll understand these better.
