I'd advise you to make sure to lane with a ranged character so you don't get pushed out of lane. Get your axe at level 1, strikes at level 2, axe again at 3, and grabbing reckless swing at level 4. After which upgrade strikes and swing equally for better brawling potential and sustainability. Get Wriggle's lantern for virtually infinite sustain.

Most importantly, CAMP THE BRUSH! Run out to get last hits and use strikes to heal up. DO NOT AXE SPAM! Use it as a threat to keep enemies away from your brush. Smack your opponents with your axe and reckless swing if they try to force you out of the bush. Eventually they'll stay away. If speed is a huge issue, get Move Speed quints (because of the already huge armor pen he gets), or a Zeal. The zeal really doesn't do much for Olaf, but it's stat efficient and generally the game doesn't get late enough for you to sell it.
