I never paid much attention to my sd when I played online, so I cannot answer what my sd was. There are rarely good reasons to build a big pot in LO8. It is a nut-peddling game where most raising and calling is done reluctantly (except for by really incompetent players who don't understand that everyone else also has 4 hole cards).
See how wrong this is (the 2% joke).
Its hard to be a deep winner like 0.1bb/h or better in lower levels with 2% hands played. Because you will lose 1.5bb every 9 hands call it 8 or 7 to take care of the lack of full tables all the time. This means that in order to make a net 0.1 even ignoring rake you need 0.02*x-1.5/8=0.1 or x =14.4bb averaged over AA,KK,QQ,JJ, AKs. This is impossible actually because only AA is at best 20-25bb with good non supertight image and usually less and the second KK drops geometrically down easily by 50% or so etc for the others.
I am more like 25-30% avg. I open utg 10-12% alone. Btn if folded easily 30-40% or more with antes (so smooth adjust for all prior if folded). BB 60% or so if folded there. And then you have all the cases you call from late positions or complete from blinds or call from BB etc.
