1. ive noticed that i get less hands/hour at PLO than at NLHE, which makes sense because more players/flop more postflop play in general. i play 4 tables NLHE, but can i get away with playing 6 tables PLO and still improve and develop good reads on my opponents since the action is slower?
You should play less tables of PLO than you do NL in general since the game is more complicated on a very basic level and most people tend to play a higher VPIP game in PLO

A lot of lower level players I know make it their stop loss at 5 BI or so. Personally, I just take a break if I'm running bad and stop playing for the day if I'm playing bad. You should definitely do one if not both of those since it looks like you have tilt issues.
10 BI downswings are to be expected, but a lot of people chalk up 15BI downswings as variance when tilt, table selection or bad play probably played a significant part in the losses.
I'll try to write an article on tilt management for the next digest I guess, though I'm no authority on the subject.
