Omaha heads-up versus an aggressive 3-better 30-60 bb deep

I was playing recently with a decently strong player who would 3-beta pretty wide range. however, they tended to be hands that played well as well as some junk hands. He wasn't just doing it with aces or Kings. Why I feel this is a lot easier to beat when stacks are deep, because you can just call and play in position, I felt I didn't have that much maneuverability because the SPR was so small at that point.What are general adjustments that a player can do to counter aggressive 3 betting,when stacks are shorter.Thanks

I'll see if we can find

I'll see if we can find somebody here with a good viewpoint on Omaha. It's certainly not me!

Well I'm no Omaha expert, but

Well I'm no Omaha expert, but there are 2 pretty obvious things you can do.1. Make a 4b/shove range. AAKQ, 6789 double suited, and other stuff that is cool in omaha. If you think his 3b range is very wide, you should obviously add some weaker hands in 4b range (maybe QQxx, JJxx ???)2. Limp, just so you can see flop cheaply with mediocre hands or whatever you want to play.

4betting light is definitely

4betting light is definitely a good option here. If you think he is 3bet/calling (he probably is) then you can start 4betting hands like JJXX, QQXX, AKXXs, AJXXds, A987ds, etc. The post above is good but I think flat ting 6789ds is much better with low fold equity because it will be a good ways behind their calling range but is extremely easy to play post flop if you flat. You can also start to open raise smaller if you aren't already min-raising.
