O8B is all about the nuts. People will often suck out in lower limit games. Swings are generally much higher. I find that you have to be even more selective with your starting hands because if you are playing a weak starting hand, chances are you are going to catch at least a piece of the pot and it could actually cost you a lot of money to catch a piece of the flop, because unless they are the nuts, you're in trouble. I will generally only play A2, A3 with good support, or any 3 wheel cards other than 345. Otherwise, I am usually folding unless I have 4 high cards over 9, AA, or A x suited with a pair.
