What is the correct post flop bet sizing , if from the big blind, you flop a small straight, in Omaha High?

The flop was 374 rainbow, I held 56A9Yeah, unless you're playing heads up, the answer is zero dollars.
Edit - yeah I don’t know what small straight means. I assumed you meant the idiot end of A straight.
if the flop is 2 3 4 rainbow and you’re holding a 5 and a 6, the answer is POT
What he said.Much better information.
Hero holds the nut straight with a redraw to a bigger straight. Still no idea if hero has runner runner flush draws. Yes, they might matter if the stacks were deep. Not so much now.
The stacks range from ultra short to short. A $5 straddle with a seven way pot makes the preflop pot $35. five stacks are ~$60 and can be safely ignored. Not that the short stacks can't win the pot, but Hero isn't afraid because so much money is going in while holding the nuts.
Hero and one villain have $200 stacks - 40bb each preflop considering the straddle. Too short for fancy plays but there could be turn cards that give Hero a brief pause.
Pot flop, pot/jam turn. Expect variance but hero's equity should be huge.
The flop was 374 rainbow, I held 56A9You need to provide more information like stack sizes, hole cards, board cards.
Also, by "small straight" do you mean the lower end of the straight (for example, the flop is 9TJ and you have 87xx in your hand?). If that is the case, in general you do not want to play this hand too aggressively. In general, PLO is a nut game where you should be looking to make the best hand possible or draw to the best hand possible. A lot of money can be lost in PLO when pushing with the second nut or lower straight or flush. It also depends on what other possible draws you have. For example, if you flop the bottom straight but you also have a nut flush draw or back door flush draws, then it does make your hand more playable.

I had no flush draw, villan went runner runner, K9.Much better information.

Yeah you're right, flopped great but no future, especially in Omaha, I should have checked the turn.'How much wood could a wood chuck, chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood?'
There isn't an easy answer to this question or the one posed in the original post. How deep are the stacks? How dry is the board? Is the straight the current nut? Does hero have redraws? How many people are in the hand?
My default answer to this would be check/fold. Dummy straight, no redraws playing deep multiway. Flopped great but no future. Save your money.
You're right, thinking back, I missed something.I dont get it. you'd still win with that run out.
