Thanks for the advice - the Poker Stars tables have micro limit PLO8 (from $0.01/$0.02 stakes), so I decided they were a good place to learn to play PLO8 better - tables with 70% seeing the flop, and you play very tight, and only raise with a made hand... so far it's looking profitable, because you'll lose a few cents here and there. 
The advice about what size raise is useful, as the general danger with an ultra-tight strategy is not getting paid off enough when you do hit a hand. When you have just a good drawing hand, then this size of raise may well put off another player making a larger raise, too, presumably, without costing you too much.
The recommendation about playing low hands with backup is also useful, because while it helps profitability in Limit games, the hands that do hold up should pay for the ones that don't, while in Pot Limit the ones that don't hold up will probably be amongst the largest ones you're involved with.
So far I've played probably slightly tighter than the guidelines titans listed - only seeing the flop with hands that include A2, A3 or 23.

One of the things I'm seeing is that the low hand is even more important - so much so that when there is a low hand possible, unless someone makes a flush hands like a pair or 2 pair win the high hand a lot more often than Limit Omaha8.
