Hello, I'm pretty new to PLO
The villains in this hand are unknowns because I just sat down at the table. It was a wierd spot because of the SPR's I guess and it was 4 ways. I'm thinking that c/f is probably the right play but I'm not sure.
My questions are: 1. Should I just c/f and give up? 2. How should the SPR influence my decision considering that we're 4 ways

I think flatting pre is better than 3 betting because of our uncoordinated sidecards, 3 suits, we probably don't have fold equity preflop (which means it is going to end up 4 way to the flop and we have to commit to alot of flops (because we bloated the pot so much pre) and don't get it in that great.
As played, you have to ship but it is far from a fistpump shove.

Can it really be bad to 3-bet when we get either a SPR of 1 (mw) or heads up? The additional callers make this possible, I think. Not sure, though.
Shove the flop, we have what we need and get calls from Kxxx and straight draws and Txxx with straight draw. Fistpump a river deuce 
edit: We would still get it all in pre if we could, right? It's not that different to achieve an SPR of 1? In fact the upside is that someone can still fold a hand that would have scooped this by making running stuff if we were simply all in.

You are pushing a very small edge with a hand that's not flopping very well and and your range being face up in a multiway pot where villains can play pretty much perfect against you. I'd consider this as bad. I think my winrate would be definitely higher by flatting pre

I think the 3-bet is totally fine. It's not like these are completely junky aces and we are far from guaranteed multi-way action. Also, SPR will be fine vs any number of callers. As played, clear shove.
