Hi!
I play plo micro on zoom. My AAxx game is probably a sin bad. Here is my graph:
What could be the solution? Should I throw it far? If I did, my income would be significantly better here.
What can you advise? What should I attach so that you can comment on the merits?
Maybe video or article ideas?
What are the most important rules that must be followed here?
Are there rules of thumb here?
Thanks for all the help!
Here are all of my AAxx hands:

But whenever I can go allin preflop. And if I can not, and the flop is not so draw heavy i go all in.
Hi Vapika
Can recommend Luuk Botter’s short video on YouTube about playing aces in PLO.
The problem with AAxx is when your 3betting range is so tight that opponents KNOW what you have. If they know u only 3bet 4bet with AAxx they got you read and thats is bad. That is a huge leak i had. One adjust i did in the micro stakes was to limp AAxx UTG sometimes so i could make a bigger preflop bet and be commited in the flop, the idea is having an easier line.
I wouldn't recommend limping AA. Actually even with normal 3bet range opponents still evaluate their hand strength on the flop versus AA often. Them knowing you have AA is not a problem, as they still can't beat the probabilities.

Being commited with the best hand possible isnt a bad thing is it? Limping with AA is terrible advice how are u going to improve with AA? With AA u wanna play with as few opponents as you can and if u can get it in preflop even better.
With AA you want to win pot either preflop, get it in versus any non AA hand or get low SPR flop where you can just shove certain flops for guaranteed profit in long run.
Generally you want to raise before the flop with aces regardless of the action in front of you, although there are some exceptions. Postflop is more nuanced. Sometimes you want to pot to deny equity, other times you will check or bet smaller. Like all things in poker it is very situational. If you have good side cards with board interaction then you are more inclined to bet.
