I've been playing a lot of PLO lately and here are some of the things I think I have learned, emphasis on think.
there are 3 types of starting hands you will play
1 - hands you will see a flop woth from LP. 5679, AK78ds, A678 suited Ace
2 - hands you will call a single raise with or put in the first raise with. AKJ8 suited ace, 89TJ, 9TJJ, AKQT, KKXXds,
3 - hands you would go to war with, AAJT, KKQJ, TJQK with suits
Post flop, in smallish pots, you need to check-raise the nuts if it is Vulnerable, betting out keeps those draws in.
Its good to limp with alot of AA hands. This keeps your opponents guessing post flop
You need to build the pot preflop to win money. there is no sense keeping the pot small with good hands since you win very little and give your opponents cheap draws on the flop to beat you.

AAxx is such a tough hand.
A raise isn't driving anyone out, and you can never tell where you are on the flop. I think limping is best, if it is suited, raising is just a sweetner for me.
I like the method of reraising with them
the medium rundowns like 8765ds and such, I like it when you can get in with two guys better big on the flop. Good hand to triple up.
