2/4/8 PLO on bros.

I have $1800 and cover everyone. Most people have around $800 with no real short stacks. The only pro folds pre. Every other player is some kind of bad rec, mostly loose/sticky/over values hands. Some recs will bluff or spazz. People bet marginal hands that should be check backs pretty frequently. I have no particular read on BU here but assume he's some kind of bad rec.

6 People limp or complete, I'm in the straddle with AsAc9c3h. I check. What would be some of the worst hands you would pot here? Expect to get zero folds almost every time.

Flop: Jc8c5s.

pot:$52

Checks to the BU who pots it with a $1300 stack. SB/BB fold. People aren't
particularly check raisey but it does happen from time to time. H?

Let's say I call and one or two other people call. If clubs hit should I lead turn?

I think a good general idea in this spot preflop is to raise aces with a suit and check rainbow ones. I use the same general idea facing an open limp with aces - overlimp rainbow ones and raise with a suit (unless v shallow then just raise the rainbow ones too). Seems like a decent way to handle it to me

(double paired rainbow are probably also raises in both spots. AA+two broadways rainbow are another candidate (so raise AAKQr and AAQJr etc..) Either way all of this is splitting hairs anyhow I guess)

Don't know best idea postflop

I pretty much always pot to open any AA. the only time I slow play is if I'm sure someone will raise for me w many callers after him, making the spr shallow for me to limp reraise.

Not raising pre is fine; as noted no one folds to you so pot is bloated and you need to flop top-set w/flush-draw to be truly owning opponents ranges (since we are OOP has less value anyways).

I think you want to be a little stronger against button's range with a check-raise here; if he has JJ/88 with a flush and/or straight draw he'll put it all in and you'll be a 40-60 underdog. If there were players calling out of SB/BB I can see the logic in squeezing the dead-money + removing straight wraps, but against one opponent in position on us I tread more lightly.

I don't think you have much FE against made hands or draw-heavy hands, you'll likely get called on a check-raise and then have no clue where you are at unless you spike an Ace or a club. Flat flop, lead turn weak if you hit your gin cards.
