WARNING LONG POST
I dont wanna spam the forums with tons of newbie questions/hands so it's all in one big post.

So tonight i tried out PLO for the first time and it didnt go so well... down 8 buyins in 280 hands [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]. I didn't really know what i was doing and was too loose preflop and probably overvalued a bunch of hands and draws.

Anyone have any preflop suggestions on starting hands? Search kinda sucks. Should it pretty much be raise or fold? I do that for NLHE but preflop raises and c-bets didn't seem to be working as well in this game.

And here's a bunch of hands, please berate me:
