New to PLO, is this an obvious jam?
Hello - sat down at 2/2 PLO at my local casino, ~450 behind.
4 players call $15 and flop 982 rainbow
I have QJT8 maybe QTs and there is no spade on the flop. 1st to act pots, 2nd to act raises pot. one fold and back on me. 13 out wrap no backdoor spades.... One player has a set almost certainly and probably chopping a ton with the other player. Do I need either the bigger wrap OR backdoors to call? Is there some kind of mental shorthand for spots like this?
spoiler: utg had 99 no backdoors, other player had a worse straight draw and I would've turned the nuts. sigh.

What is your position? Who raised, reads? Please read the sticky on posting hands, then we can answer better.
and how did it get from 2/2 to 15? Straddle? Is straddle always on? Is it always 4-5 ways or just now?
Presumably there were limps and a raise to 15.
You folded?
when you play plo you should be happy they are pumping up the pot, when you have good equity, making money in plo is about not folding out your equity
when the first guy pot, and there is a repot on that spot, usually its two pair with a redraw, or someone has a set, you have great odds to just call, but if you know the players and how they play, you can also repot it.
Never a fold. Question is do you just call or get it in.
You have a full wrap plus pair on rainbow board. I think you generally just call without a BD and with 2 BD you insta jam. With 1BD it becomes a think but the EV difference between jamming and calling has to marginal/indifferent in human land.
2BD jam
1BD either is fine
0BD call
