Hi guys,

As we all know, AA can be tricky in PLO... Did I play this handle in a horrible way? I really would appreciate some input as I am not sure of this spot. It's Zoom PLO so I do not have any reads on Villain.

standard as played, he ****ed you by not raising the flop. On that Board holding the J, i might have gone with half pot on flop but still not that much you can do

Fold the flop.

I don't know the dynamics of zoom but with a hand like your OOP I would just call per and check fold the flop. You had one pair and no re-draws

Thanks guys, some of you re suggesting to fold flop straight away holding only one pair and no draws... Is this how you usually play your Aces? I continued with the hand because I thought he was on some kind of draw (flush, 9 10, ect..) & Obv the 4 is a ''good card'' for me

Pair plus flush draw probably raised flop, dry flush draw probably doesn't raise that turn normally ... I agree the four is a good card I'd probably check turn and try and get to showdown... I agree with the previous poster in that I like a preflop call since it's somewhat raggedy and flops pretty rough(polarized)

If you want V to fold his EQ on turn here, leading for pot isn't ideal.
