Would I be better off just not reraising an AA hand preflop?

NLHE is to PLO what a knitting circle is to Russian Roulette. With five bullets. In the dark. Up the but.t

You are either going to have to get very lucky very early or you are going to get broke very early.

Transferable skills between the two games are very very small.

I wish you luck Daliman but you must understand that even many of us who seem to be fairly competent PLO players have been chewed up and spit out by the death-defying level of variance in the hyper-aggressive 10/20 PLO games on the net. I'd set a loss limit and adhere to it strictly so you don't destroy your BR. Its not that those games are overly tough all the time... With good game selection the lineups can be less then formidable. The problem is the increased levels of aggression in what is already a swingy game can lead even a winning player with a low steam level into hysterical tilt.

Ditto. Go read Big Dave D's blog for some eye-opening high-limit variance reporting from a player whose skills I respect as much as anyone on this forum.

Question regarding the AAxx being less than a 2:1 fav preflop: it is based on the two players going to the showdown, right? Would the odds be significantly different if we could compute the odds of getting a piece of the flop only, that is, enough to play your stack with against two aces but also two unknown cards?
