Re: Advice of adjustments from LHE to O/8
[ QUOTE ]
Here are four spots I see HE players make huge mistakes. The first two come from transfering their HE instincts in unprofitable ways. The third comes from trying to 'adust' to O8 by playing a draw that is terrible. The fourth is not realizing the strength of a potential scooper.

Push as many people as possible out of the hand. Make people cold call as many bets as possible to get heads up with nut draws that might not hit.

This might work for full table live games like OP was describing. However, online, especially 6 max online is such a spaz fest that none of these hands are check/fold for 1 bet. I think you need alot more context to make these lines correct.
Online 6 max, I'm check calling on hand one and even raising for a free card if I think the player is passive or is unlikely to have a3.
Hand 2 you're getting to showdown without reads and loads of action.
Hand 3 you're against a FH almost never at 6 max. If the pot is unraised and you're in a blind and it's 2 bets to you maybe you can fold. Otherwise any other line is better. Raising in position both to fold out bluffs (which are perpetual on paired boards at low stakes 6 max), for value, for free cards.
And pound hand 4.
