Deep stacked PLO question

Wouldn't raising pot be better to isolate the shorty?  £40 is going to attract too many callers, and after putting £14 from a £76 stack, he should be coming
along anyway

if we pot it and the shorty shoves we cant re shove. 40 is raising 26 leaving him 50 more to shove and not closing the action when it comes back to us.

No we're too deep to do that.

Pot raise was about £70 which gives others the implied odds to call us and hit against our now face up AAxx.

We are too deep to expect a pot raise here to isolate and our hand plays so terribly on any flop that we're going to have to junk it thus wasting £70 quid.

We make the £40 raise and hopefully shorty is savvy enough to know that we're looking to isolate him.

He ships and we get to put in a pot bet of about £400. We then don't care what the flop is it's going in and everyone knows that so it's much harder for them to call.

Ah I see, I'm there now.  Thanks for explaining.

If shorty doesn't there's very few flops we're going broke on and will have only lost £40 in doing so.

Just fold preflop.

AAA2 with no suits is so poor it only really works heads up. There are so many players in this pot its unlikely you can get it all in heads up.

If you get it all in against two other players, yr equity will shrink to something like 25-30% of the pot. Against THREE other mediocre-good hands you could be down to as little as 12%. So why enter this world of pain?

If you can't get it all in, you will be first to act in a raised multi way pot, where the only flop you want to see is one with the case ace on it.
