whats my best action here?

Read on Vic would be great.

I'd 3bet this preflop in position. Esp if Vic can raise with cards other than AAxx, then I'D DEF 3bet this. As played, I'd repot this.

[NickdaNutz]

sorry......very new to table so no reads.....Im also new to PLO cash

[Haagen]

repotting here is a pretty standard play.

[NickdaNutz]

Im getting very mixed opinions on this hand......please tell me why you feel this way

[T-God]

Why are you guys re-potting? He's c-betting into a big field, I doubt he's doing that with aces unless he has the NFD with it. Feel free to tell me why I'm wrong if you think so, I'm still learning this devil-game

[chucky]

People are advocating repot because you have a gut shot straight draw/ flush draw combo on a board where no one likely has a set, and your reraise may scare off higher flush draws.

[Bavid Denyamine]

Is it going to scare off AAxx with NFD? I think this is a strong bet by vic, why over-commit yourself with non-nut draws and a pair that's never good?

[chucky]

I was explaining their posts. My view is that for a newbie this is a fold, especially if they dont have a feel for any of the players. Hu, its playable.

Obviously AAxx with hearts is the worst-case scenario, but there are a lot of hands that we're in great shape against. Something like JT98 is going to be dominated and against most hands either our pair will be ahead or else our draw will be live. When we get all-in, we'll usually have less than 50% equity, but with some fold equity and the dead money already in the pot, it can still be a profitable push.

This is a close enough decision that I'd really need either a read or at least a feel for how the 2/4 games tend to play on Full Tilt. Is there a lot of preflop raising or is this going to be AA a large portion of the time? Do people tend to C-bet weaker hands and then fold to raises? I really don't like a smooth-call here even in position since we don't have any idea which cards are good for us, but I could see a push or a fold depending on game conditions.
