Back to poker from a long break. Still trying to remember basics. Is this standard or did I overplay my Aces.

Very standard. Flop is not perfect obviously but it's enough.

Just out of curiosity (I'm still learning this game too),

1. When you have AA with less than ideal sidecards (like in this example), raise and get 3-bet, how worried should you be that you're up against the other 2 aces with more help (a pretty bad situation when it happens)?

2. When you put 1/3 of your stack in before the flop with an AAxx hand, under what circumstances would you EVER do anything but gii on the flop?

Thanks as always

1. Your definition of 'ideal' is too strong/narrow. These are powerful aces. weakened by only 1 suit and the double gap will translate to a lower amount of ideal flops but there are still a strong majority of flops for this hand

2. 33% and what variables. 'An AA hand'; fits a large spectrm as does SPR's.
A refernece point which has been proved, and you will need to take my word for it... that a bet get it in with 24% stack preflop investment will breakeven vs a 100% range that plays the flop perfectly vs a 100% bet get it in aa**. So 33% in this 100bb situation is netting you 8-9%. But of course people don't play 100% ranges

PLO is not a ridiculous game. But poker is ***** bizzare.

**** like this happens across all poker variants. Randomness is ***** ridiculous, if anything. Don't put your stigma onto PLO. Plo desrves respect and worship, like chaos. This is a lovely game (above monsey suckign pitchfork carrying amaya rebels).
