Can I Fold This?

This was a hand in a $33 PLO Rush Turbo MTT (1451 entries 251 left 150 payout)

Chip Stacks (Chip avg was 8706)(Blinds 250/500)

NUTS-9520 (Ad8dQh8h)
Villian#1-15200
Villian#2-6590

Villian#1 opens for 1000
NUTS-calls
Villian#2 calls
Flop: 8sAhKh
Villian #1 bets pot
NUTS-instashoves
Villian#2-Calls
Villian#1 Calls

Villian#1 shows AcAs4c5s
Villian#2 shows KcKd9d10h
Turn and River brick, Villian#1 with AAA takes pot down...am I doomed to go broke here or is it possible I could've gotten away from it after the pot bet on the flop? I thought it was incredibly unlucky to get it in on the flop with bottom set and the nut flush draw and be way behind...thoughts?

fold pre

edit: and fold flop obviously because if we call 88ds preflop, a set+fd is not what we looking for right?

Agreed...

This is a fold pre, and the flop could not get any better. Even if your opponents played with their cards open you still have to get your money i the middle...

RE: Can I Fold This?

Once you get to the flop it's a no brainer. All three hitting sets is good for you since there are very few FH redraws for them if you hit your flush. And with a chance to triple you have enough equity to play your (hopefully) ten outs. If you win you have a good shot. However, since stacks are small relative to the blinds I fold pre and stick to situations where you have stealing equity and situations where your hand rates to be the best pre flop hand.
