I usually like to protect my SB when playing O8B. You tend to hit a lot more flops well and I hate throwing away chips without seeing the next 3 cards.

i actually tighten up in the blinds in o8. essentially i think that playing too many ahnds, and having poor hand selection is the biggest mistake that i can make in that game. playing marginal hands, and then getting married to them postflop has always been a good way for me to lose money.

of course, if i just threw away the marginal hands postflop, everything would work itself out, but i find that more difficult than folding out of the small blind.
