PLO Flop decision

(1/4) > >>

AAroddersAA:
Microstake"s 6-max game on Pokerstars here

Villian is playing 18/11 with a 3-bet of 13% over a small sample
I am playing 40/33

I have one note on the villain that says "gets in on dry flop with bare Aces" which is very relevant to my thinking in this hand.

I am out of position with a one gapper, my opponent puts in a raise from early position and there is a three bet from a player playing 23/18 with a 3-bet of 7%. I call as I am very deep against the original raiser and the 3-bettor is deep enough. It then gets 4-bet by the OR, I think it is now highly likely he has aces. The 3-bettor folds and I call as we are 420BB deep here. The flop arrives, I check, I think this is fine as he is going to bet this flop with an AA hand, he bets out fairly strongly, now what? My options appear to be:-

1) Pot
2) Call
3) Smaller raise

Swinebag:
You have so many outs I lost count. I pot it/get it in

You could be in poor shape if the villain has a few blockers with his aces (I think it is safe to assume aces here 90% of the time) but that is a minor consideration here.

This is a great spot to win a huge pot.

Interesting hand, been re-reading it for 15mins and am unsure. I am sure people far more experienced than me will comment but I would be folding pre.

I fold to the initial 3 bet and fold again to the big 4 bet. I dont want to be playing marginal hands (of which this is just about one) out of position. Just because we are really deep, it doesnt mean we should be seeing flops at any cost with connected hands.

As played and given reads, I would be getting it in now.

I agree with pretty much everything Mark posted.

It"s the sort of hand I like to play (my looseness at PLO is legendary) but to a 3 or 4 bet I let it go.

Once the flop comes down you have a monster draw and I"m Helmuthian in shovelling my chips in the middle.

AMRN:
As played, with the wrap, get it in!

Not sure 78TJ with one suit is the kind of hand with which I want to be making oop calls against 3 and 4 bets pre though - a bit spewy in the long run.
