Obvious fold? Do you play this differently anywhere else?

I think I would check behind on the turn. With both players flat calling, you gotta figure at least one of them made a straight. Take a free chance to boat up and capitalize on the mistake they made by checking. As played, I fold the river. Edit : fold the turn.

Good bet on the flop when they both check to you. I would definitely check the turn though, if they were drawing that is terrible card. Check behind and hope to fill up. As you played it though I would have to fold to his all in.

Yep, both the above are correct - check behind turn, fold as played

Thanks. I think I bet behind on the turn because I would have expected one of them to lead out with the straight. Going for the check-raise there is pretty stupid, isn't it? (I fell for it, I know, but I should have checked behind on the scare card)

Yeah, I think checking the made straight there is a mistake, especially if they don't have the flush draw to go with it. If they have like Ac Jc Qx X then maybe it's a little better, but I would still lead, to try and get my stack in the middle, and charge sets/two pair hands.

It's low limit plo. You can hardly expect your opponents to be playing optimal strategy.

At these levels (and pretty much any level til you get to about $50 or $100) just playing your hands in the most straightforward manner possible will usually net the best results.
