Medium Hand in 3bet pot Flop action

Blinds: $0.01/$0.02 (6 Players) BN: $3.78
SB: $3.18
BB: $3.08
UTG: $5.34 (Hero)
MP: $2.71
CO: $2.36
Preflop ($0.03) Hero is UTG with J T 6 5
Hero raises to $0.07, MP calls $0.07, 2 folds, SB raises to $0.30, BB folds, Hero calls $0.23, MP folds
Flop ($0.69) K 2 6
SB checks, Hero bets $0.34, SB raises to $1.22, Hero folds
Final Pot SB wins $1.32
Rake is $0.05

We flop middle pair + crap fd in a 3bet pot and villain checks.
I think villain checks with the intention to c/f or to c/get it in. Since we have a decent hand, which is still pretty crushed against his get it in range (KK,AA with nfd) i decide to bet/f the flop.
This is PLO2 and pretty much all opponents are weak and most also unknown, also this guy.
Im actually lost in this spot but was thinking this is the best line. I welcome all opinions, thank you

Grunching.

Fold pre x2. These suits are too low, your cards are too disconnected, and you're in too early a position to VPIP either time. (Well, you have position on SB but after they 3bet you still have MP behind you... who makes kind of a strange fold imo.)

Flop: as played, check it back. Your fold is fine.

Your flop hand is way less decent than you suggest, but for that reason I honestly don't hate a bet/fold line in the abstract: you block dd a little bit and you block top two and middle set, but against a 3bet range from SB... blocking top two/middle set is kind of irrelevant as they shouldn't have a ton of 66 or K6 anyway.

So I like bet/fold in the abstract, but against a SB 3bet range it's slightly less reasonable, imo.

And because your diamonds are only ten-high, you just want to keep this pot small and realize your equity.

But to be super duper clear: you shouldn't have seen this flop in the first place. This combo should be folded until at least the CO.

Agree with what people are saying. Just want to add that at 2PLO rake is a huge consideration so should be playing much tighter than what is generally optimal.

Also my experience at these stakes is that most players only 3bet AA, so I like checking flop and trying to realize equity (turning two pair can stack a weak player overplaying AA)
