Standard start to month

Well this month has started like seemingly every other recent month...by running a good bit under EV:



All but about 600 hands are from Rush PLO8. So standard 8BI under EV. Whatever...one of these days I will go on a massive heater and win some big moneys. The play at Rush is dreadful. I have never seen more players flat calling 4 bets then folding high flops. It is truly insane. Here is a pretty good example (though in this case they don't fold):

Full Tilt, $0.25/$0.50 Pot Limit Omaha H/L Cash, 6 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite. View Hand #8909422

SB: $41.10 (82.2 bb)
BB: $82 (164 bb)
UTG: $80.35 (160.7 bb)
Hero (MP): $50 (100 bb)
CO: $93.20 (186.4 bb)
BTN: $67.20 (134.4 bb)

Preflop: Hero is MP with 2 A A 3
UTG folds, Hero raises to $1.75, CO calls $1.75, BTN calls $1.75, SB raises to $6.50, BB folds, Hero raises to $23.50, CO folds, BTN calls $21.75, SB calls $17

Flop: ($72.75) 4 7 5 (3 players)
SB bets $17.60 and is all-in, Hero raises to $26.50 and is all-in, BTN calls $26.50

Turn: ($143.35) J (3 players, 2 are all-in)
River: ($143.35) 9 (3 players, 2 are all-in)

Results: $143.35 pot ($3.00 rake)
Final Board: 4 7 5 J 9
SB showed 5 6 7 K and won $61.30 ($20.20 net)
Hero showed 2 A A 3 and won $44 (-$6 net)
BTN showed 9 A K 2 and won $35.05 (-$14.95 net)

I truly don't know whose play is the worst here. SB decides to 3 bet with K567 double suited....ok...but he was a fish. Then I 4 bet and BTN decides to flat 1/2 of our effective stacks with AK92. I mean what flop can he possibly fold?? Just get it in if you are going with it. Guess I shouldn't complain as this seems to be common shit on FTP.

Then yesterday Rory decides to literally pull money from my pocket and burn it! WTF sir? 80? Oh well he handles it well I thought for a 21 year old.

One more week and the hell that is tax season is over...weeeeeee!
