ok, im not an expert in PLO by any means. Im better than the average donk, but this hand really made me fell like a retard. WTF do i do here? I thought a looong time about pushing preflop btw...im just not sure how good this hand really is against a PF raiser, which of course im guessing has AAxx...AKKJ or something.

Everything in PLO is a coinflip. Everything. Just stick it in pre flop and hope to get lucky. Rinse. Repeat. Win tournament.

yea, that was my thinking as well at the time..just couldnt pull the trigger. meh

I like the way you played it. There's one bet left, and he can't let you draw for free. I'd be drawing with this one to any set with no A on board or else flush draw with at least a gutshot (you just barely missed the latter).

Xas is certainly right that a lot is a coinflip, but I think it's good to try to bend the coin in your favor.

I think the interesting question on the flop, if you hit it, would be whether to check-call or just fire straight at it. But you'd need a read as to whether AA is going to fire unimproved, probably actually not with 4 callers, I suppose. But you're still getting plenty of pot odds just to try to hit your set.
