Default Help my O8 game

Hello

I am a frequent and rather successful Pot Limit Omaha player but lately have been getting more into 8 or better. I used to avoid it like the plague, but ever since playing alot of limit O8 at Atlantic City I have been playing more online. I *think* I have been playing a little too tight and also not aggressive enough. I have been folding the bare nut low ALOT (I primarily play pot limit) and while I have saved myself from getting quartered there have been alot of pots where I would have taken everything for low. Below are some stats from poker tracker from various levels. I am mainly having trouble at PP 100 level, but alot of that was some stupid play early and some big hands missing recently

PL$25 - VPIP 18.34 - BB/100 12.02 - PF raise% 1.74 - Tot Agg 1.67

PL50 - VPIP 16.64 - BB/100 16.22 - PFraise% 0.62 - Tot Agg 1.68

PL100 - VPIP 12.45 - BB/100 -11.42 - PF raise .46 - Tot Agg 1.58

So as you can see I am probably playing waaaaay too tight because I am mainly seeing the flop with only A2 or A3 hands or 4 nice big cards. What else shoudl I be palying/raising?

there's a "PLO8 books" thread going on right now, check the link in my post there to another thread I started about how to play PLO8... sounds like you need to do some reading

Also, about two or three weeks ago, Buzz put together a really strong post on the quality of many many hands. I'd look for that one too.

You need to open it up (especially from late position.
