I know its not 10PLO before anyone says but it was the lowest I could add as a prefix.

Basically, I don't like naked aces too much in Omaha. The flop lead was a little week but I was worried about sets/flush draws/straight draws and wasn't happy sticking it in even though I was about 75% sure I was best at this point.

Thoughts?

At PLO2 there are still enough players getting excited about crappy hands like KKxx for me to pot this again preflop feeling like my hand is ahead of his range. Value aside, the main advantage of another raise preflop is that it gets everyone pot committed here. This is way better for you than seeing a flop oop then taking a weak line imo.

How did you know what he had

4bet pre IMO I think ever stacking off here is bad

my PLO sucks so take this for what its worth, but my understanding is you want to either get as much in pre with AAxx type hands or try to keep it small if you cant. Here I think potting it again is optimal.

Also why did you lead into the 3better? just curious

I still don't know why I did it, I lead out wanting a fold even though I pretty much knew this was gonna end in tears. I guess I thought maybe I could get a naked Queen with no flush or straight draw to fold. Villian had shown down an AQsXX hand previously on a Q high board and had flat called with TPTK so guess I was pissing into the wind.

General points for consideration that I've taken away:

- 4bet preflop
- get it in ahead on the flop
