You'll improve your game quite a bit if you remember the admonition to "play for low". In these games, you want to "sweep", making a high and a low. Generally, you don't want to play a high-only hand unless it's extremely strong, since it the chances are great you are playing for only half the pot. I'm not a very good split poker player, but Omaha/8 is the next game on my list to study extensively.
Fortunately, this I knew going into the game (having read it on a web site somewhere) and has enabled me to do well enough not to lose money consistently. It's amazing how just knowing something like that (that most people ignore, it seems) can give you an edge. The other thing I learned is not to push A2 too hard if I don't have the high hand because you so often get quartered (people hang on to A2 like hold em players hold on to Ax).
