PLO5 hand review

so i’m usually grinding blackjack but jumped into some plo5 last night with some guys from work. got dealt double suited aces, something like ah ad 8h 6d 2c in the cutoff, preflop raises to me, i pot it, button calls, rest fold. flop comes 9h 7d 5d, so now i’ve got the nut flush draw and a gutshot, but obv just aces for now. button checks to me and i’m torn - like, is betting this flop just lighting money on fire if he’s got a wrap or set, or is my draw equity good enough to keep hammering? i always try to think risk vs reward and i know multiway plo5 can get nutty, but man, it’s easy to misjudge spots like this.

what’s your move here - lean into the aggression, or start pot controlling with the redraws? anyone play these double suited aces different in plo5?

What bugs me here is the “pot control” idea creeping in from blackjack brain, like Table Rules are going to save you from a PLO5 mess. They won’t. In this spot I’m betting, and pretty happily too. Aces, nut hearts, gutter on 975 with diamonds out there, that is not some delicate museum piece you put behind glass. Check back and you just give every wrap, two pair, baby set, and random diamond combo a free turn to realize. I’ve done that before and it felt about as smart as leaving a seatbelt slack on purpose. If button check-calls, fine, now you learn something. If he check-jams, then do the math and live with it. But surrendering initiative here is SOFT. How deep were you exactly, 100bb or one of those work-game “friendly” 240bb stacks?
