Buzzian O8 starting hand analysis

[phish]

When giving basic advice of o8 starting hands, I have a very basic system. Adjusting for position, prior action, etc., my rule breaks down to this:

Play hands that have:

A2
A3 plus one other thing such as suited A or big pair (A3KK, AA39)
A4 plus two other things such as suited A, big pair. Hence, A4sKK is playable, but A4s9Q would not be.

Of course when situations are favorable (late position, no raise, soft-game,) you can loosen up and and play that lone A3, or 4 wheel cards with no A, or 4 broadway cards.
