Saving your stack
 

You hold TTxx on button and villian, somewhat laggy, holds 77xx UTG in PLO (unraised preflop). Your stack sizes are equal. Five see a flop of 77T. You bet pot on flop and are checkraised by villian. It is folded to you and a reraise puts you all in. Is there any way to save your stack here? This happened to me twice tonight on Party (flopped top boat vs. flopped quads) and I lost my stack both times. Am I just unlucky? The odds of a flopped top boat versus flopped quads must be pretty small and then add to that the likelihood of having it happen twice in one session.

You can never save your stack to quads over top boat in low stakes online PLO. Never. Pay off and reload.

No way to lose your stack here with the stack sizes. If you were much deeper stacked, then you could probably call the raise and check-call the turn and river.

Once in a lifetime, most likely. I wouldn't even consider folding here...

I played with someone who lost to six set over set situations in one night, that has to be close to a record.

You should be losing your stack every time here. It's the right play. Too many idiots are willing to push with A7 or 7T here, and there is only one combiation of a hand that beast you. Don't sweat it.

That is quite a bit different than top full vs quads.
