No brainer shove. 3 way action with this hand is fine as no one else can have AA and you are doing well vs their ranges, especially if one of them is paired.
I haven't run any sims, but it is possible that the extra ace in your hand actually helps you, as it eliminates the (very many) AAxx combos of the re-potter.
one time in a live tourney blinds were 200-400 i had about 12k ep raises to 1400 and a bunch of callers to me in the sb i look down at AAAx one suit, i thought i had to many chips to gamble at this point (great structure and long levels) and that i would definitely be getting called in at least 1 spot so i folded
the last time i played live plo i had the almost exact same situation played out. it was a 2/5 game with optional utg straddle. i had about $750, most of the table had similar stacks. UTG+1 raised the straddler to $30, i called in UTG+2 with a suited AAA3 (pretty much just hoping to put in a backraise or flop the nuts), another guy called, BTN potted to $210ish, SB called (with like 200 behind lol), original raiser folded then I was able to repot and get stacks in the middle 3-ways against BTN and SB. Turns out I was in great shape, BTN was a rich aggro monkey and had TT89ss and SB had a AKT4ss type hand. board came QQ2xx, gg, scoop massive pot and spend the next hour stacking chips.

was so confused for a second, girl playing 200 400 wtf?! then i saw tourney.
I don't.... I don't geddit. Why would you fold this? So you could brag about how tight you are? Do people not want an overlimping range in this spot so polarize their decisions to raise/fold?
I limp solely for the possibility that a couple of raises will break out and I'll be able to get my stack in preflop. If I know/suspect that there will be no raises, then yes, I fold; I pretty much suck at playing crippled hands OOP.
As played, you think ("Well, I just turned a lemon into lemonade") and snap-shove.
