Villain just sat. Standard? I feel like if I c/r the flop, I can't fold the turn especially with outs against a set and some outs against a flushdraw. Villain took forever to call the flop and so if he was tricky and raised the field from BB here with a wrap draw, I think there's no way he thinks that long.

Because neither is suited and I have to make more marginal calls with an inflated pot

Seriously just raise preflop. You're playing sooo passively. Look back over the first probably 15 pages of the low content thread. I feel like Simo and Iggy, but that was their answer to probably every single hand I posted back then.

Good things will happen playing against retards. If button is a raise/spew monkey and you can 4bet pre and jam flop, you'll often be in a good spot in this game.

You should play PLO pretty much exactly like you play NLHE. Pretty much never open limp. Occasionally you might come across a hand or a table dynamic where you want to limp in with a mid strength hand, or if it's a very aggro table you could limp/reraise with a weakish AAxx hand or something. Those situations are rare though. For the most part you want to be open raising any playable hand from most positions.

Raise pot on the flop. You don't want to encourage a call, especially when you are flying blind on almost every turn. When you're going to have to blindly shove on a lot of turn cards, you want the pot to be big enough that it's not a huge mistake. Had you raised pot on the flop, on the turn the pot would be ~$110, and you'd have an easy decision with ~$58 left.

As it is, the 7 is a pretty bad card but you probably still have to shove and just hope he didn't have 56xx.
