Re: PLO8 preflop
I lean more to what Iceman said. The hands do run close together in value preflop. That doesn't mean you should play any hand - you should play the hands that are easist to play well post flop. But all-in preflop a very good hand has nothing like the advantage over a crappy hand as a good hold'em hand does over a bad one, or even a good Omaha high hand. I wouldn't advocate never raising, but more rarely than in other games. Especially in a 50x buyin game, where tow raise can commit you. The main play in PLO8 is on the flop and turn.
One decent place to raise is in the cutoff or near it - position is important in this game so it's not a bad idea to try to buy it.
