Default STT PLO8 - AA34 - Nut flush draw on flop, backdoor low

Single table PLO8 Tourney with the DarkBlue crowd. What's a reasonable line for this hand and this flop? What if either of the other two players check-raises for the pot?

Assume PLO8 competency on the part of the players involved. Not a typical MTT donkament.

What is the flop action prior to you? You are not first to act on this flop?
Anyway, I would bet pot if it's checked to me. I would probably repot is someone bets. Speaking in general, I doubt you have less than 41% equity in this pot, and you should have more against anything less than a set (straight or two pair). With money already in the pot this means you should have odds to get it in against most any hand (A2TT might be an exception).
The other way to play this if up against a passive crowd would be to bet some amount you think a lot of people will call, but I think then you are damaging part of your own equity since your backdoor low is not the nut low. I would prefer to jam as much as I can into the pot.

File this under low-content whines.

It was checked round to me, I potted, and SB repotted to put me all-in. I missed my flush and lost to the straight with no redraws and no low draws. As you stated, it was 59/41, and I had the odds to put the rest in the middle.

I think you played it right. It's either that or check and hope for a cheap turn.
