PLO 25/50 live deep stacks - flop the nuts on a wet board
Full Ring, hand is played deep stack, effective stacks 18k. Table is call happy preflop.
I open raise from MP 200 with 9d9sTsKd 6 callers.
Flop 469cc (1400) SB big stack covers me leads pot 1400, short stack (5k stack) calls.
With the nuts no redraw (just backdoor gut shot) are you flatting hoping for a clean turn or raising the pot?
I have a tight image.

you have a fullhouse draw. Hit it.
This is what dreams are made of, just pot it
are the other 4 callers still to act behind you? between that and the presence of the short stack, i think we have to pot here. we can't give mediocre draws an incredible price to call behind us, and potting will also put a lot of pressure on some of SB's less nutted hands that he may be leading with in the expectation that you do not connect with this board very often.
Flatting is +ev and a gigantic mistake
If you are playing these limits, this deep, then I assume you are rolled for it. Embrace that PLO love and put the raise in!
Way more good stuff comes of us potting than flatting
Raise to 3200 might be scarier for draws as short stack pushes a big % if he has draws and then u get allin.

Need to be familiar with how this particular short stack plays in order to make this play. If he is a type who will just call and leave 1800 behind, that could be a disaster (i.e. we get blown off the pot on the turn on a bad card for us by one of the other big stacks and do not realize our equity)
