Well, there's not enough money left to allow you to lay this hand down, and it's just possible your AA is still in the lead (or at least has some outs against 2 pair) so you might as well push.

You're going to be paying off the last $230-odd; the final pot will be in the $950 region and even if you're certain he has a straight your EV from the final pot is still around $200. Given that there's a very good chance he hasn't made a straight ya gotta shove it I think.

You could look to check-call but if he checks in turn and the river blanks off you could be bluffed out of this pot by a weaker hand. You also may not get paid off if he checks and a diamond hits.

I think that's a pretty easy push compared to most other AAxx hands, where you won't have the flush draw to help you out. If you didn't have the flush draw then it's a much differenter story IMO.

Well I re-raise this but I'm interested to see what someone who doesn't suck as badly as I do at PLO8 has to say about it....

I'm not sure why villain is looking for the sort of flop where he can put a large chunk of his stack in as an underdog, Kuso?
