Hello, what do you think about raising this flop? I am blocking the possible straight, and this board should not hit a tight players UTG-opening range that hard.

Interesting hand, but he could have some sets in his range as well.
I think you need some decent reads he can over play KKxx or something to make a raise legit here.

Cheers,

Your MP 3beting range vs EP is super high-card/high pair heavy so this is very bad board for your range. Knowing this a good player would create leading range on such boards knowing that this board will get checked back here a ton, he should be leading a lot of hands (obv not his sizing) including open-enders, pairs+gutter, two-pair hands, sets, etc, all those hands want to charge IP player and protect their hand. In those rare cases you actually hit this board you basically have to protect your check back range and check back those in order not to get exploited every time you check, occasionally betting the combos that dont block opponents continuing range (doesnt have board pairs or higher wraps).
As this is PLO2 I think that opponent simply has something they are willing to go with, esp. by choosing pot sizing his signaling that hes not folding. I'd just fold the flop, but if you really want to be sticky you'd rather just call and keep their range as wide as possible as your block the nut/2nd nut straights, planning to stackoff most turns.

Agree with benaars. I think it makes more sense to use your blockers as a shield rather than a sword, if you are going to continue in the hand. If villain folds to your raise you were already ahead.
