SB posts SB 0.4 BB, Hero posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.4 BB) Hero has A♦ 9♥ J♥ A♥

fold, fold, CO calls 1 BB, BTN raises to 4.4 BB, SB calls 4 BB, Hero raises to 18.6 BB, CO calls 17.6 BB, BTN calls 14.2 BB, SB calls 14.2 BB

Flop: (74.4 BB, 4 players) 7♠ Q♣ 5♣
SB checks, Hero checks, CO checks, BTN bets 47.2 BB, fold, fold, CO calls 47.2 BB

Turn: (168.8 BB, 2 players) 3♥
CO checks, BTN bets 37.2 BB and is all-in, CO calls 21.4 BB and is all-in

River: (211.6 BB, 2 players) 3♠

I think raise pre is ok but flop should xf or xr in this spot vs btn small bet?

It’s too bad we don’t have a draw and only an over pair here in a multi way pot, but I don’t think you can make a profitable cBet for value and protection with only an over pair in PLO. I could be wrong as PLO fish, but as played I would fold AAxx here as well

Cheers,

check-fold 4way. Even Aces are a drawing hand in PLO, you draw to get a good flop. This time you didn't.

Would it be easier to play if we just call pre flop? I mean button isolates and sb overcalls, so it looks unlikely it is going to be heads up post flop.

While I think it's easy to just call and hope to hit flop MW, I think it's fine to raise too.

Our aces are quite good with NFD and J9, CO and BTN/SB can still fold too. Now when everyone calls, we have quite low SPR situation and can just shove many many flops with good equity.

If this was 3way I think I would just shove any flop this SPR,now I think we can reconsider when it's 4way, 2 players have something and we flop only very dry overpair with our aces.

Worse aces would be a clear call and hope in vain someone spazzes pre but with these aces I am indifferent between reraise and call.
