[HU PLO6] Naked top two on dry flop - Raise/Fold?
Here I decided to raise flop, to have him fold his backdoor equity... If he folds AA or KK that's a win for me... My thinking was there are no good turns really for me... I think he put it in with AA43 and I got bluffed... I'm a dog against that hand anyway... I'm not sure about the flop raise, feels a bit like a raise for information and equity denial... Do I just peel the turn with this? Hm I just noticed I have 3 backdoor flushdraws, that makes me lean towards flat even more... Feel like I butchered the hand. Any thoughts much appreciated

Once you make it 27 bb and he jams don't you have the equity to call it off? Think you need roughly 2 to 1 and would imagine we have better against a jamming range. Yeh I mean the raise is really just equity denial, although if he's 3bing and cbetting at a high frequency this could be more of a value play.
I'm having a hard time following exact stacks, but I don't think you can raise-fold given the odds. Especially since even against bottom and middle set, you are going to have respectable equity.
Mathematically, I also think it's probably tough for you to average much less than 25-30% against any reasonable range. Theoretically the double 66 blocker does make this spot a bit interesting; I'm guessing mixing between call and raise is OK.
