Well i thought I'd play a bit of PLO just for a change to see how i did, keep in mind i have quite literally no experience in PLO and have only read a few articles about strategy on it.

I think this is up there with one of the best possible starting hands, being double suited with aces and another pair, However I'm wondering if i over-valued it on the flop, or if i over-bet at any point? what's the correct play(s) here?

This hand i think i was right in my pre-flop with it being double suited and a lot of straight possibilities, but I'm wondering if my flop play was the right play. I know I'm a favorite in the hand at that point with the open ended straight draw as well as nut flush draw, but I'm still unsure as how much i should be raising or if i should be flatting to see if i get hit the draws.
Sorry if these hands are really really really basic, but I'm still finding my feet. Also if anyone can recommend anywhere to read up about game-types apart from just hold'em that'd be really appreciated! thanks!

First one i probably check fold that flop, altho at 1c/2c people are dumb enough you can play it like you did.
Second looks good assuming you potted the flop, its fine to get allin on flop
