Hi guys, I am relatively new to PLO so I make a lot of mistakes.

I noticed that I struggle a lot with Top pair / Overpairs with weak/ no draw.

I usually Cbet and get lost on turns and rivers.

This hand was played against a maniac (97/70 over 30 hands), so I need a bit of help on the decision process.

I have a lot of questions here so any partial answer on any of the points is of great help.

1/ Open sizing? What would you do preflop when he 3bets, would you flat, fold? What do we want to 4-bet here?

2/ How do we play the flop and turns with Top pair top kicker / no draw?

3/ In general, what's your strategy against such an aggressive 3bettor on your left? (Opening range, 3bet calling range, 4betting range)?

4/ Given the small sample size, which stats would you take into account for decision making? Do we want to look at the 3bet% or is it too small of a sample to draw conclusions?

Villain : 97/70 (30 hands)
3bet : 58% (12 attempts)
Ag: 24%
Flop Cbet : 67% (10 attempts) / Cbet in 3bPots : 100% (4 attempts)

Any other comments / indications for further studying is of great help too.

Thanks a lot for the constructive input guys.
