Luckboxing all the way !

hey there,
since I lost most of my roll due to bad bad play and the FTP shutdown I decided this summer is time for a new challenge. Just play for fun, and dont really worry about the results (obv. trying to play very good, but dont feel bad when i take a bad beat and stuff). So i decided to learn PLO. I picked up Jeff Hwangs Books (nice beach lecture for when I went to vacation)and watched the deucescracked series 2x6 and started watching Hellomaha.
I know that PLO is a post flop game, but somehow i already have problems PF. I tried to stick to the concepts i learned about not playing danglers, play cards that makes the nuts, thighten up pretty hard oop (esp. sb in multiway pots) and not playing crappy big pairs like dry TT/JJ/QQ. But my problem is in 2x6 vanessa selbst said one should end up playing around 25/20 (just a very rough estimated value) but even when I decide to go crazy and play "crappy" hands on the button in HU pots or when it's still unopened to me, I always end up playing 15/7 and I just dont know why... I can do whatever I want and feel like I am gambling like a maniac but i still end up 18/8 or something
I dont know exactly what I hope to achieve with this blogpost but maybe someone of you can give me a hint what kind of marginal/crappy hands I should add to my PF starting hands, because I just feel I play much too tight even though I think I stick very well to Vanessa Selbst's and Jeff Hwang's requirement for preflop hands...

cheers and enjoy the summer !

P.S. To give you a general idea about what hands i play:
-Any AA
-Most KK
- QQ/JJ with good side cards
- 4 rundowns, with eigher 1 gap at the bottom or 1 middle and 1 bottom gap (if in EP only at least single stuited)
- Axs with a pair to go with (for example A2s99)
- 3 rundowns suited to an A or with a pair (77+) (for example: 9987, 8776, A8s76)

Obiously playing the highercards UTG and loosening up depending on position

I play mostly 4-6 tables

Hey guys,
since it seems to be ok anyways , here it is again:
two friends of mine just recently moved together in a shared flat and now there is a contest where they can win an awesome prize:
-living rent free for a year
+ getting stuff from the local supermarket chain worth around 6000 $
+ a huge party in their flat getting sponsored with around 3000$

all you have to do is to "like it" on facebook and u can even win some stuff too if they should make it to the round of 5 (they are 7th atm) though i dont know about the prizes if you dont live in switzerland

anyways, it would be huge favor for me and them !
