Hi everyone, I'm looking for some insight as to how I played a hand.
Today I was at a live PLO game 10-handed with a $25 button straddle and no blinds, I was in MP with A

. I was the shortest stack at the table, with around $1800. This game is wild and loose and typically plays more like a 25/50 game. Rarely do flops come with less than 300-400 in the pot. Tonight was particularly rowdy, as 3 of the biggest, loosest fish in the area were playing. My image at this table is that I am EXTREMELY tight, and that I only play the nuts/3 or 4bet preflop with AAxx, etc.
Anyway, I was between two of these players, both of whom are extremely laggy, raise pre flop with any holdings (by their logic to punish the limpers), and will get all-in pre with just about any cards.
The first laggy player raised to $100 on my right, I called. Laggy player to my left raises to $200. 3 people call, and back around to the player on my right who also calls. I bet pot, for $1100 (so an open call/4bet), and both of those players call, along with one other player who is a calling station fish who can never lay down a draw.

Laggy player to my right checks, and I ship with about $500 behind. My SPR was something ridiculous like .1. I think that the ship was correct because of this, and because I know for a fact that any of these players would call me with as little as middle pair or an OESD, regardless of the circumstances (so much so that the guy to my right has overtly said on a few occasions that he calls my 3-bets preflop every time just so he can try to bust my hands). All three of the players re-potted/got it in and I lost the hand to the player to my right who called with AT46r. The turn was a 4 and the river was a 2.
I technically 'got in ahead' against everyone, because my hand was the best once all of the stacks were in, but did I play this hand correctly given the field and the circumstances of the game?
