 I think my preflop open is fine? I suppose I could open limp a hand like this too..but decided to raise given it's 4 handed. ive been told that 3bets at this level are almost always aces, sometimes kings, and occasionally a random connected hand until the opponent shows they are maniacal. I decide to call because the stacks are deep and my hand has some potential/implied odds. According to the ProPokerTools.com software I have about 36% equity vs a hand like AAKQ

When we get to the flop villain tanks a bit before potting. I decided to just c/r right away because slowplaying couldn't possibly end well oop and I want to get as much money in the pot as I can now. also if he can't let go of his aces now I want to get his stack before the board runs out really shitty and he pot controls or something. Is there any merit to just c/cing here or is it really bad to slowplay this hoping to give villain rope?

I decided to check/pot though looking back at this hand it almost seems like overkill. I should probably scale my sizing down a bit to like 1.25-1.50? This would give me a better price on my bluffs and allow me to do it more without committing so much of my stack. If I make it 1.50 that will still leave enough to jam the turn.
sorry if these spots are just super easy/standard im new to PLO and in the process of fine tuning my game so I can move up.

I think it's good. If he folds here make a note.

If you can't spot the ugly American hold'em player at the table, you are the ugly American hold'em player.
