Default 100 PLO: I have many straight cards

It's late and I was feeling a little goofy. Normally this hand goes in the muck (unless the K was an A, 8, 7 or 4). But I'm on the button and what the heck?

Only note on villain is that he made a pot-sized raise HU against me with top pair no kicker on a unthreatening rainbow board. I whomped him in that hand.

Min-raise PF is curious...first time I've seen him do that. And most players don't do it.

I've been playing about 30% of hands thus far. Table was 9-handed most of the way but is now down to 6. Started with 20 BB and have run it up to 70.

Once he pots the turn I think you have 0 fold equity. If you call he'll have like $14 left on the river. I don't know what the right move is on the turn given stack sizes. I guess it's close, but a fold seems good.

Against this player I'd try to get it all in on the flop.

Without the flush draw I find that, in general, this type of situation has me puzzled. 13 outs if he doesn't hold two spades...9 if he does...and I'm left wondering what the hell.

Probably correct to fold the turn but a call is a fair gamble,
with position you probably get paid if you hit
so late and goofy its just too easy to click that call button.

Either call here or fold preflop,
no point in playing these hands if you are going to fold with good draws.

Whats the point anyway, evenn if we all know its wrong you still call next time its late and you are goofy.

Preflop is completely fine imo. Turn is probably a fold, but you could make the case for calling (and tbh I would always call here as I like a good gamble) as you have 16 outs (and thus the correct odds to draw) if he doesn't have spades or 9J/TQ. Of course, you could be in absolutely terrible shape if he has something like 89JQ with spades, so it's probably best to muck if you're not looking to gamble it up.
