Because I'm still a PLO newbie, I thought I was supposed to stick it in with this hand, but I wasn't sure. I thought I was a coinflip against AAxx and if 2 players have AAxx then I must be in good shape. But unfortunately I'm not completely positive on all my PLO hand values yet and wasn't entire sure.
If I were only at 100BB I would have just stuck it in 3-ways preflop and not cared, but I didn't really want to be wrong for 225BB. Of course, now I know after I looked it up and if I had it all to do over again, I would have shoved. The result was that it worked out here because of a bad river, but I still have much to learn. Maybe any other PLO newbies here can learn from my mistake.
Curious though if everyone else knows my equity in this hand preflop (without looking it up). It's actually even better than I thought it might be.....
