Actually you had to pay 6 cents to see the flop. While there is a school of thought, and I won't comment on the merits or demerits of their position at this point, that argues for extremely liberal defense of the big blind given that equities run so close in PLO, I do not believe that many sober analysts of omaha strategy extend this philosophy to the small blind. Let's take a look.
You are in BB, button opens for pot (7 cents), small blind folds. You have a weak hand. It is 5 cents to call to win 10 cents, so you are getting 2:1 closing the action.
Now let's go in the small blind. Same situation weak hand.
Button opens pot. We are now getting only 1.66:1 AND are not closing the action. So worse odds and potentially even worse odds if BB ends up repotting. Of course were the BB to be a loose passive player we might actually welcome the fact that he is still to act, especially if we had a strong hand. But the point is that while it may or may not be a good idea to liberally defend your big blind it is almost certainly not a good idea to call loosely from the small blind. Given that we are out of position and not getting as good price from the pot I would want either a hand that rates to be as strong, on average, as my opponents are playing or even stronger. Perhaps we could say because we are getting some odds that our hand should be only almost or nearly as strong as our opponents, but I am quite confident that we cannot compete with a hand that stands to be much weaker than what they are playing.
And this T654 ds hand is quite weak. No high card strength, are you essentially playing only three cards and while you are double suited your cards are so little making a flush is not really a lucrative opportunity.
On the flop of course with the nut wrap your hand is very competitive and it's an easy stack off.
