This hand is 50 50 to me. If I know this player to be a nut peddler, easy fold. But if I think this player has any aggressive tendencies at all, I push.
By folding here, you are conceding folding aces to anyone. Any paired board, someone raises you and you fold. This is classic weak tight in PLO8.
When I play, if I see someone how has obvious aces, I will push this board a high percentage of the time, ESPECIALLY, which A2 spades on a semi bluff. I call this a high percentage of the time.
You very rarely will be beat by the high and low.
Final read: player has Aspades 23 x.
Easy push.

First this is not a simple paired board but 776 which fits somehow into vast majority of so called solid hands.

Notice that you dont have the A of spades so quite likely he is in villians hand.

I have to agree that some tircky lagtards will try to make you fold AA, but none of them is so stupid to do it on 776 because if you have AA2x you will call him at lightning speed.

And your arguments sound a bit like you would treat poker as an ego thing and therefore you say no one makes me fold aces. Are you scared to look foolish when he shows his bluff?

And the numbers I gave are up to the point, because if you calculate the average equity vs such rabge it will be around 35-40%.

So if you shove you in bad shape bacause all bluffs fold and only the good hands that are either slightly ahead or have you crushed call.
