Default Playing a set of aces on an all-low board, $25 PLO8

$.10/$.25 PLO8 6-max with a $10 cap, meaning after betting a total of $10, a player is considered all-in. Just played the table through an absurdly loose and profitable hundred hands, but most of the idiots had gone and things were a little tighter now. 4 handed, everyone has the cap covered, and BB is pretty awful.

I'm dealt A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] in the SB.
2 limps to me, I call, BB checks.

Flop: A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
I check, BB bets $.50, UTG raises to $1, Button calls, Hero ???

What if the board is rainbow? What if the board is Ah8h9s? A89 rainbow?

1st problem, you just called.
If this were a89, id push.

on this flop its tough, it depends on my opponents,
but I think Id look for a safe turn card and then push.

hero calls and realizes he is drawing to half the pot and must play very carefully unless he can get it all in multiway.

Flop: A 8 7 = low already possible.

Call the flop and re-eval the turn is ok, but I really don't think folding is too bad against 3 or more aggressive opponents considering your OOP and drawing for half.
