I don't mind raising with either. However, I personally like to limp with aces, even as strong as this hand in EP. As long as you do it with other non-aces hands I don't see a problem with it. The second hand I think can go either way. It is a really good multiway hand and limping is good. However, I usually like to build the pot with these premium drawing hands in position.

I'm finding LR in an aggressive game to be a lot better w/ AA. I'm limping for set value and flush value if it just liimps around and I'm popping it if it gets back to me raised.

i'll admit, im not really comfortable raising in PLO yet. im not sure why. in the first hand im usually limping w/ AAXX but here im double suited and have the K for high card strength so i took a shot.

2nd hand i imagine these are hands that i need to start raising more often.

I personally hate limp-raising. Whenever I see somebody do this I think how can I get all their money in.

I mean I know that they have aces, because that's what 90% of everybody limp-raise with. Since I know 2 of my opponent's hole cards I can play accordingly.

Against a LR who get 50-70 % of his stack in preflop. What are you going to call w/? While you have a 1.5:1 type hand.. can you always call w/ those types of hands knowing you only get to the flop? Being new to PLO, I'm not sure how often you will be to improve w/ a hand like 8-jDS. Should that come into your thinking at all?
