Hi guys here is a hand i played online.
Game - Omaha Hi low Blinds 25c - 50c
I have AAQJ single suited to the ace.
EP - $4
MP - $40
LP (ME!!) - $19

EP raises to $1.75 from UTG
MP calls
I raise the pot. (what do you guys think about this given my stack size)
Both players call.
EP is all in. Only MP and I are remaining.
FLOP 689 rainbow.
MP Check,
I move all in.
MP calls with A247
catches a 5 and takes 2/3 of pot.
EP also had an A2 low.

How do you think i played this hand?
Any Recommendations on how this hand can be played in the future with a shortstack 20 to 30 range.

Thankyou very much,
-MJ

I'm not a big fan of raising w/ high cards only in PLO8, but it's not a terrible thing if you can push hands like A2xx or A3xx out of the pot. Problem is when there's a possible low the most you can win is 1/2 the pot, and you can easily get scooped (as you quickly found out). I think the biggest mistake you made was continuing after the flop. You're not going to push A-2 out now, and if there's any flush/str8 draws out there, they're coming in as well. You're going to lose a lot of money if you continue playing AA this way.
