To get worthwhile return on your investment, you need to make the final table, so don't worry about going out on the bubble of you have a great hand that can win you a lot of chips. (I would rather get an extra hour at a cash game than waste it muddling through the bubble in a tournament just to get my buy-in back.

I believe the key componenents to successful tournament play in LO8 are patience and controlled aggression:

Early stages: slightly table dependent, but play very tight pre-flop from early position, and always raise in late position with a quality hand - you will get plenty of callers.

Mid stages: Still play tight, but be more ready to raise from early position with quality hands - you will frequently get the blinds to fold, and will often get h/u with one other player playing naked A2 or A3.

Late stages: Small or Large Stack - play with extreme aggression, Mid stack - play like PLO8.
