PLO5 - Aces - 3 way - did i punt off my stack?
Ignition $0.02/0.05 PLO - Only Me and the Small blind and the Big blind are playing, others are sitting out.
Preflop Hero (107bbs) on the BTN has: Ac - Ah - 7h - 3d
Hero opens for 3.4bb, Small Blind (50.8 BBs) raises to 5.8bbs, BigBlind (93.2 BB) calls, Hero 3bets pot (23.2BB), SB & BB call.
Pot: 6c - 2d - 6d (66.2BB)
SmallBlind bets 5.4bbs, BigBlind calls, Hero?
Spoiler
Hero Jams ALL IN, SB calls and the BB folds...
Turn 4s
River 4d
SB shows: Kd Ks 10h 5c
My thoughts: This is literally my 5-6th hand on Ignition so no player reads/stats, except that SB has been min raising other people, and acting aggressively fishy...
Was this too optimistic by Hero? the BB calling my raise made me think he probably has broadway and the SB is the only one that could likely have a 6 but hes also a short stack...is it better to just call down? seems like that wouldnt be correct

Just jam it in - you'll see a 6 about 20% of the time, but there's value to be had and we should protect our equity
In general in poker, if you are going to shove when it gets to you then without very good reads you should ignore anything that happens before it gets to you.
thanks guys...will keep whats been said in mind.
anyone know an easy way to post hand histories from ignition? I want to make this a habit
While it's not the most comfortable feeling, you just need to determine if you are going to go with these types of spots or not in the PLO realm. Having both Blinds in the mix does lend itself to more 6x, but you are sort of blocking with the 7 and 3 and have one diamond.
Really LOL with the bet sizing .. BB probably doesn't have 6x or it would protect against flush draw by raising.
So you need to protect your equity against both the inside wrap and flush draw holdings, yes? And there are a lot more combos of those floating around than 6x holdings, especially with such a low SPR and being multi-way. That means a raise is in order .. and it needs to be a big one, probably pot.
Kind of stinks you don't have Ad because it may not be a clean out, but it may not come to that anyway. GL
I read your entire post, thank you very much for the input, i just really wanted to highlight this part because after playing a few more hours on this site i noticed that Ignition Microstakes PLO is FILLED with callers..
Open raising does f*** all...
Anytime i open raise pot i get 4-5 callers.
and cbets might as well be "checks" on ignition PLO5.
I've noticed barreling the turn usually gets 1 or 2 to fold but man so many calling stations lol
