I've only been at the table a few hands, so I am lacking reads on everyone. Not really sure what my play is here, but I am inclined to fold on the flop, thoughts?

Poker Stars $0.10/$0.25 Pot Limit Omaha Hi - 6 players
The Official DeucesCracked.com Hand History Converter

CO: $20.55
Hero (BTN): $27.25

MP: $21.30

Pre Flop: ($0.35) Hero is BTN with A 3 A J
1 fold, MP calls $0.25, CO raises to $1.10, Hero raises to $3.90, SB calls $3.80, BB calls $3.65, 1 fold, CO calls $2.80

Flop: ($15.85) 7 K 9 (4 players)
SB bets $1.95 all in, BB folds, CO raises to $16.65 all in, Hero ?

Folds IMO. You may be facing KK or a big draw and if you need another ace to win the pot there is a good chance the A of hearts is no good for you as CO may have a redraw with KhXh.

Also, I would probably just have called the CO raise preflop as starting hand isnt really that strong without an Ace on the flop.

At those levels I would say you have put yourself in a very ackward situation with stack sizes. If the CO had only half-stack, I would like your 3bet better as if you end-up heads-up on the flop, you are happy to shove to any of his flop bets.

You basically missed the flop and the CO took the play away from you. Since he raised preflop, most of the time here he will have KKxx, nut flush draw with top pair, a wrap, or two pairs+. The main thing here is that there is not single hand in his range that you crush. Half of his range has you crushed, the other half you might be even money.

I would say your equity against the CO range is like 30% at most so the odds are weakish. I would call with like 3-1 odds

Thanks for all the responses. This was a no brainer fold for me too, but I had to make a results oriented post because I was shocked when I saw that the short stack in early position won the hand with kings up (there was a pair on board) and the guy from the cut off went all in with just a flush draw.
