General HUD stats for 6-max and some general questions
I just started playing PLO seriously around 1 and a half week ago because i find myself more profitable in PLO
I consider myself a beginner.
Anyways here are some general questions i want to ask
Is there a general guideline as to my VPIP has to be near PFR like holdem?
I just transitioned from holdem to Omaha
And what would be a recommended buyin size for a serious Omaha player?
Are zoom players all nit's?
And is it profitable to jam pre-flop with KKdouble suited with no read
Thanks.

If by buy-in size you mean the amount you sit down with (or did you mean stakes?), then start out with 100 bb play and master that. The 250 bb ante/deep tables are fun, but that's a very different game that you can learn later.
From what I hear the Zoom games play pretty tight. The high rake at small stakes makes it an interesting decision for you. Play a lot of hands/hour against not-too-shabby opponents with measly rakeback, or plod away at another site with better rakeback and looser tables? You decide.
Auto-jamming KKds readless at small stakes PLO is not going to bring light into your life.
What i meant by buy-in is my bankroll for certain stakes (e.g. 50 buy-ins of 100BB) for PLO. What is the amount of buy-in suitable for a serious player?
Great suggestions at the end. I must agree table selection is very important!
And yes I do agree with you on the last part because I find that people in small stakes only jams with aces.
In my opinion 50 BI or thereabouts is a fine BRM for a micro player who is serious about the game and wants to climb up. And don't be afraid to take controlled shots with less. Tomorrow is another weekend, and the games are probably good, so let's say you're sitting with $1000 and you see some fine $25PLO tables. Then by all means sit down and take a shot for a couple of BI, even if you don't quite have 50 BI yet.
As for games, I don't think Zoom is a good option 'cas people play tight which sucks. You make your money in these absurdly raked games mainly from spewy morons and Zoom discourages them from playing their 8852r from the SB. Much better to play the regular tables and, where possible, the loosest ones going - after all, who doesn't wanna be at a table where 2+ villains are VPIPing in excess of 65%?
There is also less focus on who has the preflop initiative, so learn to donk bet rather than check raise! ;-)
It is actually more difficult to play with initiative in omaha, so playing without initiative in the beginning may be a good way to learn, and then slowly move towards taking initiative with your stronger hands.
And yes I do agree there is less focus on preflop initiative (from what I have notice) since the flop changes everything really fast. Therefore a lot of times putting the preflop best hand to a bad spot in post flop. The idea of donk betting I am still exploring and after what I have seen from your reply I would think about this element towards my game as to check raising.
About initiative, does aggression means initiative or the betting lead is the initiative or both?
Btw thanks for your reply considering these new factors in my game!
