Hand 1 i think we're too deep and our hand too weak to get in. If we do want to get it in on the flop, it's certainly only going to be against one opponent, and preferably the shorter one. By checking we get to see a favourable turn like the 2 / 3 / J of hearts, while avoiding being sandwiched between the two. If we decide we're ahead of BTNs range, we can just wait to make sure SB gets out of the way.

Hand 2 don't worry about the absence of a sidepot, or the possibility of sets. There's lots of hands we don't want to give a free card to, and lots of draws that have to call that we dominate.

For hand1, would it be a cbet for 4 card plo?

The sidecards matter so you gotta choose which one to cut! And they all help our backdoors in one way or another.

I think we're probably still too deep and our hand too weak whichever sidecard you cut


Hand 1 I prefer check, Hero is rarely the equity favorite.

Hand 2 stuff it.
