Is folding to his 3bet OK? My logic is that he's going to have AAXX the majority of the time so I should get out of his way.

If I had called PF how are we approaching the flop? There's only 1 combo each of AAXX and KKXX so the chances of him having either of them are relatively small. Is this a situation where he only ever has hands that beats me or can I call down on safeish turn and river cards in the hope that he has a wrap?

Thanks in advance for any responses.

I think a call preflop is fine because as you say he will have aces most of the time and you can play perfectly against that and can get value when you hit a Q or KQ.

Otf it´s a fold because he will have a set here often. Sometimes he´ll maybe have something like QJT9 double suited or another good rundown and you could get value if you call a cbet because you have the blockers but the chance he has AA is to big. If a A, K or Q comes on the turn and he double barrels you have to fold.

If he´s very tight maybe you could call one and bluff on a turn J or T if he double barrels, especially if it´s a club but I doubt he will fold to a raise and he will barrel on most turns if he has a wrap too and if you call it´s going to be a big guessing game and I think it´s best to just play safe.

In position you need to call a 3b almost every-time, with any playable hand, i think i hear somewhere PLO is 45% draws, 5% AAxx, and 50% position, any who see a flop and play cards

I think a fold on the flop is too nitty, like OP said, we have blockers, and there is a chance that op has a big rundown hand like AKJT or a premimiumm suited A like AJT9

Our sample size is only 100 hands

Don't fold pre. Too coordinated even though the QQ kinda hurts us, it does give us 12% to hit a set.

On this flop with an spr of 4, I would count on our blockers and just get it in.

please dont fold flop. you have two blockers, and dont count on someone only 3betting AAxx on PLO5. most likely he gives plo a try, deposited 20 bucks to become the next durrrr, feels like doing it this time etc... dont be afraid of a professional nitgrinder in PLO5...

If an Ace hits I have the nuts

How much does the fact that the BTN is still to act affect the decision? In this instance he was loose passive so he's probably going to call and pad the pot. However, if he was a laggy there's a chance that he might reraise.

I would fold pre. 100 hands sample is not big enough, but still... I lost tons of pots vs nits thinking well, maybe they're not 3betting only aces. Don't put yourself in bad spots. Players at this limits are bad enough that you're going to get your money in better and vs a fish, not a nit. Anyway, your hand is in really bad condition vs AA

And you will continue only on 20% of the flops when your eq is >40, so I don't think it's ever a good think to put money in in this situation

Wouldn't fold pre.

Reads post-flop will help, as if he's super tight there will be plenty of flops you can look to bluff on.

There's enough money behind to call. The equity graph is good to know (you're going to miss 4/5 of flops), but you have pretty good implied odds when you do hit hard. Nits are generally reluctant to bet/fold their few 3bet hands when they have to call maybe a $3 raise.

+1 for call...hate shipping flop tho. I hate these spots vs nits too but in my experience they do sometimes 3bet random funky rundowns even with nitty stats, also you only have 100 hands so who knows. These types often have pretty bad betsizing tells fairly often and just pot the flop with the nuts here. I would expect him to slowdown on turn if you are ahead so at least call flop.

I would 4bet this hand pre out of position (very low SPR negates the positional disadvantage), but call in position. Never folding pre. On the flop, I shove. If he has AA or KK (which as everybody has said is really unlikely cos of your blockers), it's just a cooler.
