First, I suck at PLO8 so please take all this pseudo wisdom I share with a bit of salt. Most of it is gleaned from Badger's site anyway.
Second, I never gave what I thought was the biggest mistake. So here it is:
Getting all-in on the turn and missing the chance to bluff the pot when a scare card hits on the river.
Say you have the nut low and a shitty flush on the turn. You suspect the chances are equal that it's a split pot, you are quartered and your opponent is quartered (33% each). Now you bet and your opponent makes a good raise that if you re-raise, will get you all-in or nearly so. A lot of people will make that raise and it is a mistake. Chances are pretty good that if a scare card comes (the board pairs) on the river and you put the rest of your chips in then (and it is still a decent amount), you can steal half the pot if your opponent was in there with the nut flush. By getting all in before the river, you lose that opportunity to bluff. This costs $$$.
Anyway, that's what I was getting at when I started this.
