Preflop mistake?

2-2 live 5 to call 8 handed

Just sat down with 365(from holdem)

Rock straddle 20, 2 limpers
We pick up AJJ4 opened to 105(maybe better just calling???) in co
Btn calls, straddle calls, mp calls

4way pot 440
Flop Q23

Straddle donks pot
Mp calls for less for like 70.
Hero? We have like 260 left.
In game I snapped I thought I had nfd. With only J high fd and a gutshot do we have odds to call.

I would include hitting a jack as another one of your mediocre outs. Given your very short stack relative to the pot I would get it in.

I don't like the raise pre flop. Change the four to a Broadway (not including the jack) and it's a good raise. The cutoff is the position I'm most aggressive since raising or reraising will often reward you with the best position post flop. But AJJ4 double suited is a speculative hand since the pair of jacks in PLO is at best a set mining pair (unlike holdem - you mentioned coming from that game).

I'm curious is the rock mandatory? My games don't play with a classic rock straddle and if it's always there this game seems to have players with very small stacks.

Whoever wins the pot with the rock in it must use it in utg or on the btn.
Rock straddle is only worth 10, you can add another 10 on top if you want.
Rock is only out 2-3 hands an orbit.

buyin for the game is 200-1000


It's a game in GG PLO Z5

MP 22 vpip,SB 30vpip,Hero BTN ,20vpip with 5% 3B。Both three play have 400BB
Preflop:
MP open , Hero AcAdTc2c trip suited 3B, SB call ,MP 4B。
Quesion1: Should Hero 5B or call?
I think players' four bets in GG Z5 are haveaily towards to AA, and the range of SB cold call 3B are very strong(maybe two pair ds or rundown ds) ,so I really dont know the best way to play this AA, and I called at that time。I plan to allin in flop if I pick up a board pair or a gunshot or flush draw

Hero call , SB call
Pots: 197BB

Flop:
Qc5s6h
SB,check, MP POT 197 BB , I and SB both have 330BB behind。
Quesion2: Should Hero allin or fold ?

I didn't pick up any equlity , and SB can also have some hands to call allin(like 5789 or qqjj etc). So I fold

Is there any action lose big EV in my play?


I think we need to stack off. At our stack depth I would overlimp this hand.


I think call is fine as played. Pre also seems fine.

Same, tons of AA/KK/QQ limps in live games. We really don't want to get limp RR here as we can't fold and our hand isn't really strong enough to ISO with 4 more people besides them to act as well


Pre is fine, imo. This is a reasonably strong hand that shouldn't get us into trouble too often. Interestingly this is the 4th worst AJJx kicker we could have, ahead of only the 6, 3 and 2.

I'd call the flop.

You need to post in its own thread.


Played perfectly


Spoiler
Show

Turn T
River J

straddle said he had top2 on flop?? he said he shouldnt be in this pot to begin with. Supposingly he flatted pre with random trash.

Mp won side pot with k9 hitting straight I think he had the higher fd

We hit J on river winning the side pot.
