Default Re: $10PLO, top set and 3rd flush, big pot

Whoa. Shouldn't we be checking behind on the turn as a general default play here?

After all, what is UTG calling us with on the flop? It is either a straight draw, lower set, or a flush draw (or bare aces or weak two pair if really bad ). On the turn the nut flush draw got there, but we have the straight draw drawing dead and lower set drawing essentially dead.

If we check behind on the turn, we re-evaluate the river. Bet-raise if the board pairs. Decide whether or not to call if not. UTG could have a decent wrap with a lower flush and may value bet that on the river. We also could snap off a bluff. If UTG is really tight, I would check fold a nonpairing river.

As played, definitely fold turn barring a read of UTG as a tilting action monkey junkie or YOUR image is very laggy and someone may reraise you very, very lightly.
