AAAA?
With the lack of content recently, I thought I would bring up an interesting holding from a hand a few years ago.
2/2 5 live PLO
Hero - otb about $1000 effective with most (2 limpers had around $700-$800)
Cutoff, SB, and BB are solid players. The others limp a lot and are weak/tight type of players.
3 callers, cut off makes it $25, hero picks up AAAA otb! Hero is ready to auto fold, but ponders possibly calling to set up a nut flush bluff later on or even 3b to isolate cutoff knowing he can't have AA and play flops accordingly. SB and BB are not likely to 3B oop without AA and the limpers will all call if there is no 3b.
Hero ended up folding, but thoughts on if you would entertain a difference approach dare I say for a little fun!?

Playing a hand where the main attraction is to bluff is not appealing.
This is similar to a spot where we have the dry ace and are drawing almost dead. Just fold imo.

Probably at 100bb if you can manage to reduce the SPR more via a 4 bet and get it HU might be slightly +EV, as it stands you are way too deep and also will not be HU and can probably not get more money in than a 3 bet. That leaves a gigantic SPR with a very vulnerable hand.
