PLO hand, Help!

Friendly home game. I don't play PLO except for once a month at my home game and even then it is only once or twice an orbit.
Rob is new to PLO and Kevin is the one of the guys who play a ton of PLO.

The following hand happened last night...
8 handed
PLO .25/.25

Hero $50
Rob $16
Kevin $10

Villain SB
Hero BB A Q 64

fold. you're oop with a strong hand and no redraw to speak of. your hearts are basically blockers and it's really easy to be drawing super slim to set and a FD, straight and a FD, yadda yadda yadda.

oop and multiway, just go away.

Re: PLO hand, Help!

I play a lot of PLO. Fold. In fact, I probably fold this PF. Your flush draw sucks, your two pair sucks (as you've only got four outs to improve) and your straight draw sucks. Think of all the hands that are beating you right now! I count seven outs. 2 Aces, two queens, and 3 jacks. You flush outs are trash and you'll lose a lot of money drawing to a 6 high flush.

Easy fold. Mandatory fold with top two oop facing a bet and a reraise.

Re: PLO hand, Help!

After about 5 minutes of thought I did fold. It seemed like a real close decision but I was positive that at least one of them had the straight and one had a better flush draw as it turned out Rob had kjxx and Kevin had
KJ(hearts)XX for the straight and the open ended straight flush draw. The worst part was the A of diamonds hit on the turn. Kevin ended up winning the hand when a heart hit on the river.

@Imthatguy...do you often fold your BB? I usually do once or twice a year after a few too many!!

If either of the villains had a larger stack ($50), would it be worth it to draw to the full house?

Thanks all!
