Hi Guys, could you advise me on this hand. Not sure if I got lucky and won or played it right. Aces tend to blind my play. Background on the table. Table was fairly loose, only 3 players I really keep an eye on, the rest are super loose and aggressive and clueless. I know I’m a little clueless in this game but these guys were unbelievable.

Normally I pot raise with any Aces but after reading the forum I thought well their not suited and the side cards sorta suck and my position isn't the best, and I realy don't have any low. Even thought about folding them but couldn't do it, so I limp.

Well I floped my ace, but I don’t like the low board with the 4 nor the fact that the ace is suited but everybody checked so I pot it.

Well I guess here's the big question mark. I have no real low against a low board, I'm probably risking all my chips for half the pot and MotleyFool81 is a player I keep my eye on. My PTO database has him as a very strong consistant winning player in all categories in PLO8 100 with someone above 3,000 hands (excluding myself of course whom I know to be the strongest player [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]) Anyhow I know the board is low with wheel possibilities as well as a flush possible and that worries me but I thought I read on the forum here I'm still in good shape so I hammer back. I figure I have top set with a weak shot at a straight as well as a boat. Below are the results, was this correct or should I have just called. After seeing the turn I know both of us would have played it differently.
