You played it perfectly, honestly never fold this preflop unless you're a money hater.

You played this hand perfectly, very well done if you are a plo newbie. Button's play here was absolutely atrocious. Miniraising the UTG player then calling a pot raise with trashy queens is just about the worse preflop play you could make in PLO. To top it off he calls the rest on the flop with almost certainly no more than 2 outs. If you see this guy again sit in the game quickly.

dont fold this preflop ever, sometimes you are a favourite over AAxx.

some of the time I just shove over UTGs raise here and gambool but calling is perfectly fine too.

Yeah never fold this.
Though instead of just calling you could've shoved pf, btn could fold and youd pretty much flip with utg for stacks + dead money. Though btn was a braindead fish so guess he's not folding.
Just never fold these.
