Hi
Would like to get some opinions on what you would do in this situation.
About 8 hours in to a 4,5,6 card plo 1-2 cash game. I've been swinging all night and I've brought in for total of £800. Game has been quite good and as it's got shorter handed I've upped the aggression and picked up a few pots to get my stack up to around £1.2k. There has been one guy at the table that I just can't get the better of in a lot of hands. Examples he has K flush to my Q flush. Calls pot sized bets on every street when I have aces and rivers Q to make Q3 TP. I know he's bet me off a few pots through the night but I've been waiting for that spot.
Anyway the two plo games running join together and changes the table dynamic. After a few mad pots this happens.
After calling £35, then £80 pre flop the button shoves for around £250. There an all in call and the villain calls. I have 223455 so think I'll have a gamble as it's likely a low board is not going to be good for anybody else and call
The flop comes 332. The villain insta bets £400 in to dry side pot. I think he is trying to push me out again or has a dangler 3 that he thinks is good against the two all in players and doesn't want me hitting a bigger house so I move all in for just over £900. Of course he insta calls with 32 and I'm drawing pretty thin to a 5 which doesn't come. He won't run the board twice either, not that I blame him I wouldn't either.
Is this really that bad a move. It's hard to get across the battle we've been having all night which is a big part of my decision making.
Thanks

Agree with fold pre.
The nature of n-card PLO is that variance increases dramatically with each additional card. The pots will be bigger and you will get coolered more often. As for the hand, flop is just rip gotta gonna lose dat money 100% of the time.
If you're going to run once/ twice just agree with your opponents at the beginning of a session you're willing to run it only once or twice but make sure you stick to it as picking and choosing when you run it once/ twice won't make you any friends.
