I know I should theoretically 3-bet this hand pre-flop, but I almost never do it out of position in PLO to avoid making my hand too obvious.
I avoid betting or raising across all streets because, in my view, only premium hands would call and those would also bet into me anyways. By check-calling, I give my opponent the chance to bluff. If I raise, though, I’d likely only get called by full houses or quad deuces.
