PLO5 bottom2+double gutshot
CLUBGG - 20PLO5 6 handed
V seems to be a maniac, we got it in first hand vs villain preflop, when villain 4bet shove with AKT62 double suited.
Hero (UTG): 362.2 BB
CO: 92.2 BB (VPIP: 25.00, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 4)
BTN: 100 BB
SB: 118.3 BB (VPIP: 100.00, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 1)
BB: 211.7 BB (VPIP: 100.00, PFR: 63.64, 3Bet Preflop: 33.33, Hands: 11)
5 players post ante of 0.2 BB, SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB, BTN posts penalty blind 1 BB
Pre Flop: (pot: 3.5 BB) Hero has A♦ J♣ T♥ 9♦ 7♥
Hero raises to 3.5 BB, CO calls 3.5 BB, fold, SB calls 3 BB, BB raises to 19.5 BB, Hero calls 16 BB, fold, SB calls 16 BB
Flop: (64 BB, 3 players) 7♣ K♥ T♠
SB checks, BB bets 64 BB
Hero???
Is this call? fold? or shove???

Seems close versus this villain i.e. I don't think any of the options would be a big mistake. Versus villain as described I think we probably get it in.
Seems like a spot you can take any line and probably not be a huge mistake.
I may fold just because i'm super deep and don't wanna lose that huge chip stack.
Spoiler
In game, it felt sick, I didn't want to play a big pot vs a maniac with only bottom two. I just folded and act like he had something like AKQJT/KKxxx
I'm shoving , it's probably the high variance play, but I think it's better then calling , from many reasons.
I think shove>fold>call
Fold is also great , as you never a big favourite here in 5 cards, we just hope villain will fold sometimes , and we take this pot here .
I'd shove, double gutter even if you're wrong.
You’re never a big favorite when the money goes in and I doubt there is a lot of fold equity. It’s usually a flip but sometimes you’re in bad shape. Stack preservation is a thing since covering the maniac has big future upside.
I wouldn’t blame you for going with it but I find a snug fold.
I think its a fold. Note: SB's range should connect very strongly with this flop, even if maniac hasn't.
Against a maniac you could consider putting on another bet pre and playing for stacks, even though your hand does well multi-way.
