Some may say c/f here but there aren't really any 2 pair threats out there and I guess it's only the low wraps I need to be worried about.

My plan was bet/fold if volvic raised and bet/get it in if the shorty raised (thinking of $25 as 100BB's is proving quite difficult!)

Is this fine to put him effectively in on the turn?

c/f. You missed the flop, you have no prospects unless the A hits, I don't like a 6 all that much. Additionally, you are oop and unless you're ready to fire another barrell you are going to lose this pot to a turn bet 3 out of 4 times.

you played the pot for $.90, you missed, don't worry you'll get AA again.

Why check/fold? I don't understand, I mean if we had air here we would CB at least some portion of the time right?

I get that Aces alone isn't a big hand in PLO but what is even the point in raising AAxx just to c/f every flop?

From the PLO vids I have seen the guys like Stinger most certainly haven't been check/folding in these kind of spots.

you're playing PLO 25, they aren't folding to a $2 bet, you're just sweetening the pot and getting yourself committed to putting more chips in.

Look, you're learning PLO right? Just play tight, learn the flow of the game and the nuances before you start getting tricky and making sophisticated plays. There's no reason to make fancy plays at $2 pots, save those for a $10 pot.

Who said anything about tricky plays? I want to value bet what is probably the best hand! I do respect and want your advice but you still haven't really explained why we just c/f on a flop like this?!

You have to play PLO a bit before you get it, it's not as systematic as hold' em.

You have to look at PLO not only as whats best now but what will be best in the end. If I knew you as an AA raiser I would put you all-in on flop with 1 pair and 3 live cards.

Do you really think you are value betting here? you are putting your money in bad against someone unlikely to fold. For every time you get a retard to call with QQxx here, you will lose 3 other times to 2 pair or better.

I'm going to eat now, more later.
