I limped with a spec hand, get iso'd and cold 3 bet - can I continue fairly deep vs original opener? (Bearing in mind this a freeroll and subject to all kinds of nonsense).
Should I be raising pre to try and not play this multi-way?

I would fold, because I'm thinking about the weak flushes, and the 3-bets indicates a better pocket pair quite often (I too play PLO freerolls and they almost always re-raise a lot pre-flop with AA/KK/QQ etc. to the point of going all in)

It all depends on you here truly, the flop can easily be in your favor or it can be completely against you. The flush draws would feel like a trap though, opponents can easily have a better flush, happens way too often. Safer with J high at least-

I grew paranoid of my opponents in PLO, they always have something better so if I don't have the best flush or straight, I can't rest

So yeah, play as you normally do, sometimes listen to your gut if you really wanna see a flop like in this situation, hopefully it favors you, if not, you are still left with a decent stack here!

Best of luck on your PLO journey

It seems, my friend, that you don't understand anything about Omaha, and the answers you get about this situation won't help you. First, watch how people play on streams, you'll start to understand at least basic things.

How do you know the answers I get here won't help me? Try me..
CC could become a boring place if every noob gets told "You won't understand the answers you get.. go watch Youtube instead"

I like the limp but now it is a fold we have a lot of second best hands when we hit and then get to the river- Villains have better flush draws- set over set better straights we just do not need to get involved trying to get lucky and avoid all of those possibilities--Not to mention we call then SB pots it and now we have to fold after putting in 12bb more or 39bb more to try to make what nut hand-- quads? straight flush? What frequency does that happen
Ask this question Will we even be able to realize the full equity of this hand post flop even if it is clean equity?
flop is QcJcTh are we calling Sb flop pot bet or shove? JcTc7h still calling? Ah6HTc still calling? SB can Have AAxx and cover one of or both of our flush draws--so can BB----say SB checks flop but leads when our flush comes in on turn are we calling?

It is all those difficult spots that lets us make an easy fold here

Hope this helps

Yeah I folded thinking original openet may well 4 bet and I'm piggy in the middle then. He did 4 bet it and 3 bettor folded, so BB probs donking around - quarter stack in to fold.

I was looking to flop a set with flush and straight redraws. Pretty speculative, but reasonably deep here. Question is do I ever raise to try and get it heads up as my draws are non-nutted? Just spewing chips in a loose game?

Your question is good as we would want to play this hand heads-up -the issue is the BB taking a terrible line -which we will see often in spewy chip games. Once the BB raises we can no longer want to ISO as the pot will be far too large for the holding we have even if BB folds. We want to save those ISO 3 bets for spots to force the spewy players out say BTN VS Co open or LP VS MP open trying to force the spewy BB from calling in the first place---

your hand is not that good to call a raise. I would definitely fold. there are so many better hands in Omaha than this hand. you only had flushes but cards are not connected to each other well.
