PLO: Anyone know how to play?

Anyone know how to play PLO?

Was my play here spewmonkey awful?

Against villain's actual hand I'm about 54% favourite.

Usual range that rejams the flop here?

Sets + FDs?

Blinds 10/20

Pre-Flop (30, 2 players)

Hero is BB

dTcKhAdQ

mr. Drada calls 10, Hero raises to 60, mr. Drada calls 40

Flop (120, 2 players)

sQc4s9

Hero bets 100, mr. Drada raises to 400, Hero goes all-in 410, mr. Drada calls 10

Turn (940, 2 players, 1 all-in)

hT

River (940, 2 players, 1 all-in)

Your opponent is a clueless

Your opponent is a clueless moron playing what probably is one of the worst starting hands in PLO.
If your opponent would make any kind of preflop-hand-selection your call on the flop would be a terrible mistakes. It is easily possible that your opponent holds a wrap with fd or an overpair.

if you get raised on that

if you get raised on that flop, you probably only have as much as 3 outs (the 3 Jacks that don´t complete the flush) which you may even just draw to a split. almost all of your 2 pair outs make a straight and the flush draw devalues that even more. but villain has no clue what he´s doing and you take it away. i´d like to play such a jerk on a 24h basis (provided the stakes were high enough to pay my rent).

Haha thanks guys.
So I'm a spewmonkey. 
But my opponent was an even bigger spewmonkey. 
Happy times :)
 
I don't think you get too many rofl awful players playing higher stakes that are willing to play you all day. 
Certainly not enough that you can name them as a a financial backer on your rental lease agreement :P

If you are a good player in

If you are a good player in Omaha (SNG of all kinds and tournaments) you can achieve one of the biggest ROIs. The problem is the traffic.
What I don't get is why you would play PLO $15 but only $7 NL.

you have an SPR of just below 4 OTF (which means, you can get it in with a bet and a raise), so the stack off requirements are not as high as if you had an SPR of 12, like you have in a cashgame. with an SPR of 4, you need 44% equity to profitably get it in. i just saw that the SPR is that low, so actually it´s not such a bad thing to get it in on the flop from either of you. stacking off requirements are really very low in this scenario, especially for villain, because you might assume he has some fold equity, if not much tbh.
 
any 2pair is good to get it in here from villain´s perspective, or top pair with a flush draw, in your case top pair with overcard improvers is borderline to call a jam. even against a monster draw like KJT8 with a flushdraw you have 40%. take away the FD and you have over 60%. against villain´s entire range though, which includes sets (no set of queens though, most would raise QQ PF), top pair + FD, wraps, two pairs, you have about 40%. so it´s a fold. if villain is happy to jam with an openender like JT and no flush draw (which clearly is a mistake), you have a call again.
 
as you see, because in a hyper turbo, you practically immediately are in a SPR ~ 4 scenario OTF, PF hand discrimination is crucial. low wraps like 7654 lose dramatically in value (these hands gain their value from implied odds in a deep stack scenario) and high card hands gain in value. also hands with high pairs (QQ+) gain a lot.
