Handling reraises preflop (noob question)

[ QUOTE ]

Stars 200 PLO. Everyone have about a full buy. I raise pot UTG to 7 with 8TJQds (bad?) about 6 callers, villain (dr cobben btw) makes it 65. Easy call? I have the equity for sure, I just feel like I don't get to see all the cards pretty often.

Push better?

Congratulations, you have reached the best situation you can in PLO. You are putting in 30% of your stack preflop as a tiny dog against an opponent who is playing with his hand faceup. Now you get to make the decision whether to commit the remainder of your chips in as a favorite, or fold when not.

Busting aces is absolutely the most profitable situation in this game.

Yeah I like busting aces as much as the next guy, it's just that 30% seems like a big amount to put in, I am not really sure how often I will hit a flop to continue with. If I hit a pair on the flop it's a fairly tough decision. I will likely have people behind me. With one opponent I go in with a pair on most flops but with like two people behind me that migh have hit sets and whatnot it's not that obvious, since my equity against the aces aren't great to begin with with only one pair.
I am not an odds expert yet but I would expect something like 46%-54% QJT8ds vs AAxx on a Tyz flop with no flush draw. I don't know if I should call all in there when there are two people behind me that could have me in very bad shape. So I lose some of my profitable spots (or at least make them less profitable) when there are people behind me.

I guess I never fold here, but I am thinking pushing might be better than calling?

EDIT: My equity is probably lower than those % now that I think about it. 40-60 might be more accurate.

the big mistake is raising that hand (or pretty much anything else) utg. i dont like the spot after the raise but anything you do from here on out is prob resonable. i prob call but could easily see a fold, and am open to a push being ok too. i like calling better than pushing because the advantage i see is knowing half your opponents hand. if you push you are giving up that advantage. if you had deeper stacks i would def say call for this reason. with deeper stacks you would be in a much better situation to potentially bluff "knowing" he cant call or try to play a big pot when you hit poss as little as two pair.
the more i think about it the more i like calling better than raising with folding being slightly better than raising.
