So, I really want to learn how to play PLO correctly and really grind it out. I'll start at 2pl Omaha, 6-max on stars.

So, any good tips or articles for me to read so I can work on my PLO game? I guess I could google articles, but I'd really want to learn through members first. ...Here is a hand I just played and even though I won, I feel like I may have made some slight errors on each street.

I too am in the process of learning PLO and have found Jeff Hwang's advice on Omaha to be the best. You should read his book "Pot Limit Omaha."

I find it in Omaha, you can't fall in love with your hands like someone would in Hold'em. You have to realize that everyone has 4 cards so the strength of hands aren't as strong as they would be in Hold'em. The hand you posted, it's very possible you were beat until the river paired. It's going to be very frustrating at first, but a lot of people fall in love with the game. Just stick with it.

Please do not open limp, please do not open limp, please do not open limp. Everything else is fine, maybe a little more on the turn.
