[BluffTHIS!]

It's only standard if it sets you in on the flop, which is why you need to give starting stack sizes when posting a hand. Otherwsie with a deeper stack it's best not to overplay almost any AA, and especially not a weak one like that with no suits.

sorry stupid converter used to post stacks and now it doesnt. its 100bb stacks, so $200 to start. a bet postflop is basically allin, as evidenced by UTG on turn.

[Rottersod]

Why did you re-raise after 2 raises pre-flop if the stack sizes were all around 100bb? Your AA unsuited with the XX isn't anything great.

[greg nice]

the 2nd raise preflop is a minraise and unlikely to mean anything. what do you suggest instead and why?

[CrushinFelt]

If you felt the reraises preflop would isolate you with someone then the reraise preflop might be OK. But if you felt you would get a multi-way pot then I would advise against the reraise.

[autobet]

I am probably betting this to, although my selective memory make it seem hopeless on flops like this with 4 way action.

PLO is not my main game so I'm trying to see the hand through different angles but I figure your raise gave the re-raiser OK odds to call as he likely had some kind of hand in the first place - probably suited or with one suited connectors. If he had double suited connectors then your AA was in worse shape. I just don't like my naked aces in this spot as there are so few hands that can improve them.

um, if i just call, the pot is much more likely to get multiway than if i reraise, nO?
