PLO8 hand.

[AAmaz0n]

Hand from KotZ; all players are 2+2 and seem fairly tight. Blinds are 300/600 and we are down to two tables. I think that we were one spot away from the money.

this is about the second time in my life that I've ever played PLO8, and I think it's the first tournament in this genre for me so I have some questions.

Preflop, with a suited ace and three cards to wheel I'm thinking that this hand is worth a limp 5 handed but the high is not enough to warrant a raise. Is this OK, too loose, or not aggressive enough?

On the flop I get a wheel draw, and OESD on a rainbow board, back door flush draw and top pair as well as third best possible low. Five handed with a limper and the blind, I feel that betting here is better than checking, but in retrospect perhaps with 2100 in the pot 1200 was not enough of a bet?

The flop check raise from the BB worried me, but I felt that the pot odds justified a call, especially since I was getting him all in. Given that I've already made a mistake underbetting the flop, was the call good?

thanks for your help.
