Couple of interesting hands
Playing 2-2 PLO at Borgata. 1st hand I sit down is double board bomb pot. I have A/6/K/J unsuited and have a stack of $300
Flop is 4/6/6 and A/10/3 all hearts (I have no hearts). No reads on anyone.
3 guys with large stacks call a $50 bet and so do I, then a guy shoves for $250 and gets 1 caller. Are you calling or folding. I think my 6 could be good and if not, I have overs, but I'm playing for only half. I do have a gutter though if no one has hearts.
2nd hand is 5 hours later against a very aggressive guy. I have $1,000 and he covers me. He makes it $15 pre flop and gets 7 callers. I call in the BB wiith K/6/5/5 suited in spades. Flop comes down K/6/2 with 2 clubs. Should I be leading out for pot? I check and he pots and another person calls. Maybe I was being too nitty because I knew regardless of the turn this guy was potting. How would you play this. I don't know why but I folded thinking he had a king and when an overcard comes or a club I'm lost in the hand and the other person calling also. Figured he would bomb like a 9/10/J/Q/A etc and I'd be in an awkward spot. Should I have just repotted? I'm unsure on these types of hands..

What is pot-size and position for first hand?
As played... I might still call-off the last $250, it's unlikely to be more than a small mistake for the price. It's also important to remember Hero does have equity on second board, we could boat up or catch straight or be vs another 6xxx and 44xx hand etc. Hero is calling 240 to win 900 or something?
Folding flop 2nd hand seems fine. In a 7way pot, tossing weak top 2p will normally be correct. If this were say 4-way, I'd be more open to calling to see a turn.
Edit: I had written a longer post on the first hand, but it timed out. Hero should try to dynamically adjust his likely outs based on card removal, and may be underestimating his total equity. If action checked to Hero, I would advocate for a betting lead.
Hand 1 call and play turns for the side pot. How do you have AKJ6r with no hearts?
Hand 2 fold pre.
