Congratulations on your 2,000th post This_Passing! I'll respond to all of your hands for fun since we're friends. I've only played PLO for a few months though.
1st hand AKT9ss: I like the value 3bet, pot sized for value especially deep. Facing a 4bet, having an Ace in your hand isn't as good, but you are deep, you have a strong run down, and he 3bets a lot so may 4bet light/thin, so I'd call. Standard flop shove. He has 37% equity and hits.
2nd hand AAQ7ds: Any double suited Aces hand is premium, so I like the pot sized 4bet. I like shoving the flop. He has 25% equity.
3rd hand A774ss: I like the call preflop, deep in position BvB, suited Ace and a pair with marginal straight draw value. I like a pot sized flop raise. The flop SPR is 41, unless he is pretty LAGgy, not sure if you should 4bet this hand. Maybe you should call and wait for a non-6/non-J turn although if you hit a flush draw on those turn cards then you have to go with the hand. Not sure how bad a 8 or a 9 on the turn is. I would go all-in with top set and a very strong draw here, but with middle set and a pretty good draw I'd call the 3bet I think, with this SPR. He has 41% equity.
4th hand 9966ds: The squeeze looks okay. You are OOP against a UTG good LAG but double paired hands with a suit can be good to 3bet. The 66 is a bit low but you have a second flush draw and you have some straight draw potential so I like the 3bet probably. The flop SPR is 5 and I'm not worried about 25 and you have a lot of equity against 57, so I am going all-in. Against some players you can pot/3bet but against others I like a pot check-raise, the guy is a good LAG so you can try this check-raise line against him with your strong made hands and strong draws on this flop some portion of the time. He has 28% equity.
5th hand AAT6ss: I like the pot sized raise preflop, not that excited about these Aces, plus you are deep, there's an argument for sometimes min-raising premium Aces with 100bb's to let many players in to the hand and the SPR will not be very high still because it's 100bb's. I like the pot sized 4bet, you can probably get enough of your stack in here, and if you get an over call of the 4bet it's great. He has 52% equity, I guess that means he'll win 2% of the time.
6th hand AAJTss: Not sure if you should maybe bet $5 on the flop. I like the call of the check-raise, your hand is good but not good enough to 3bet. I like the turn shove, let him get all-in now with sets, Aces up, and strong draws and stuff like that. He has 52% equity.
7th hand AQ76ds: I like the preflop call because you have the gap. Whether you check-raise or lead depends on how much he is cbetting this type of board and how he responds to check-raises and leads. Your check-raise size depends on how much you'd check-raise with flush draw plus top pair or flush draw plus gut shot here, and how cally he is in general. He has an monster draw but is totally dominated and only has the inside wrap really. He has 22% equity.
8th hand QQT9ss: Your hand looks good enough to call the 3bet but not good enough to 4bet. You flop a 17 out straight draw with 10 nut outs, plus your Queens and back door flush draw. Depending on how much he cbets can affect your strategy, you also have a good pair so if the hand gets checked down that's okay too, which is also an argument for check-raise. As played it looks like a good pot sized check-raise once you bet. He has 49% equity.
9th hand QJ96ds: Looks like a good call of the 3bet. I'd rather 4bet with something more connected. Looks like a very standard flop call with the medium strength hand, your flush draw isn't that good, you have a gut shot not open-ender, and it's second pair not top pair and stuff, so I like the call. Interesting turn shove, not sure how this guy plays, I think I'd fold but I'm inexperienced in PLO. He has 36% equity.
10th hand QJT9ds: Standard pot sized 3bet preflop. You flop top two, plus an open-ended straight draw. Without the open-ended straight draw I'd bet the pot, but with it, maybe you want to let in some weaker hands and make it $20, not sure. Initially his check-raise seems possibly light without a pair or straight draw, but he does have the nut flush draw. The over cards, back door flush draw, and two back door straight draws help him out a lot also. He has 41% equity.
I am not that experienced in PLO but I think your play in these hands was generally good and/or standard. My main questions are about 3rd hand and the 9th hand. I am not sure what the picture you posted means.
I think the preflop play for all your AA hands was good, in the 2nd hand, I think any double suited Aces hand is good, and the flop SPR is only 1.3. If you called the 3bet you will be OOP without the initiative with a higher SPR against a good LAG. About shoving top set on the 4th hand, I think the flop SPR of 5 is just too low, 25 isn't a concern, you have equity against 75 which won't be there that much, and you can get all-in with tons of weaker hands. Yes I'm not sure about the turn shove in the 9th hand with middle pair.
As per your request, here is a picture of Girl's Generation:
