PLO25 - AAJ4s oop 3 way pot

[Acerbic]

Wasn't sure if I played this hand optimally. Both villains are playing very loose for the game. Villain 1 is 85/31/1.19, Villain 2 67/25/3.25, neither one has 3bet pf so far.

Given that they each only have 60bb, I thought 4betting was the best play to isolate and negate my bad position.

Is flatting the 3bet an option? What if the stacks were 100bb?

this is fine obviously, you can also get it in pre in these spots with medium rundowns and be a favorite quite often.

if you can get over half the effective stack in pre with AAxx, then by all means repot it in my opinion. you're slight favourite heads up to any non AAxx hand. this is nothing i've read a good player say or done the maths for myself (whether or not this leaves say 3456ds enough implied odds for it to be +EV) but it seems to be a good rule. were they 100bb deep i would call. you essentially have a one way hand when neither of your aces are suited. and you're not going to be able to continue on many boards without enough of the effective stack in preflop.
