I guess I'll start reading Hwang's book.
The lowest limits of live PLO is such a weird beast. People will have no idea sit with 500bb and be completely transparent with their bets, and have no strategies about freerolls or board changes etc. Even the "good regs" are mostly bad, they just have enough of a clue to stack the people with no idea.
Yes, read Hwang. Unlike online you'll often be playing 7-9 handed and don't be shocked if 4+ people call a raise. Understanding of "Big play" is essential.

If you are 100 BB effective in a live game what is your strategy with AA rag rag?
Stop. Go back to your wallet and grab another 100bb, at least. There's probably only one table running, so you can't just sit out as soon as you get deep and go to another table ... so start out deep and have a default strategy that doesn't do stupid things like just mash pot when you hit the flop (which is mostly fine with an SPR of 1, but just spew at SPR 10).
Yes you can wait for any AA and limp/3bet/AI-flop (which is somewhat easy to learn to do correctly), but so what? You don't win real money at live PLO by pushing 55-60% equities in 80-200bb pots, you win by having 80%+ equity in 500bb pots. All of the players bad strategy/understanding is exaggerated the deeper you get.
